Turkish warplanes have again struck Kurdish rebel targets in the southeast of the country and northern Iraq, the military said Wednesday. "Sixteen targets were destroyed as a result of air strikes," the army said after the operations Tuesday that focused on Turkey's mountainous Daglica region near the Iraqi border as well as several regions in northern Iraq. Similar strikes were carried out on Monday against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the day after an election that returned the Justice and Development Party (AKP) to power. Four Kurdish militants died Tuesday after clashes with Turkish security forces in several parts of the restive southeast, security sources said. Also Tuesday, Ankara ruled out any resumption of the peace process with the outlawed PKK after a wave of violence erupted in July, leaving a 2013 ceasefire in tatters.
2 Turkish soldiers killed in clashes with Kurdish rebels: army "Two hero comrades fell as martyrs during clashes that erupted after an operation" in Yuksekova, the army said on its website, adding that one soldier was also wounded. Violence has flared again between Turkish security forces and members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) since a weekend election that returned President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party to power. Erdogan said earlier Wednesday there would be "no break" in the military campaign against what Turkey and the West considers a terrorist group. Turkish warplanes bombed PKK targets in southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq on Monday and Tuesday, the first such action since the election. Four militants were also been killed in clashes this week with Turkish security forces in the Kurdish-majority southeast Meanwhile, police detained 22 people on Wednesday in an operation against the youth and urban wings of the PKK in Istanbul and in the southern province of Adana, local media reported. The government said Tuesday that conditions were not yet ripe to resume peace talks with the Kurdish militants which collapsed after a fresh outbreak of violence in July.
