ANKARA (AA) - Turkish jets destroyed ammunition depots and shelters of the PKK terror group in northern Iraq, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

On Twitter, the ministry said that airstrikes destroyed PKK targets in the Metina, Hakurk, Avasin-Basyan and Zap regions.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people.
