ANKARA (AA) - Turkish airstrikes destroyed terrorist group PKK’s weapon emplacements, shelters and hide-outs in northern Iraq, the Turkish military said on Wednesday.

The Turkish Armed Forces said on its website that the army carried out anti-terror operations in Zap and Hakurk regions of northern Iraq.

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, including women and children.
