Turkish warplanes have hit the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorist targets in the Gara region of Northern Iraq.



The operation was conducted between 12:30 and 1:55 p.m. on Monday, August 29, Turkish military sources said.



The operation was carried out after intelligence was received regarding the targets, sources said, adding it was not immediately clear what damage was done.



The Qandil Mountian region of Northern Iraq is the PKK's main base.



Turkey has been intensively fighting against PKK terrorists both through land and air operations in southeastern Turkey and Northern Iraq since July 2015.



Since that date, at least 600 security personnel have been martyred and about 7,000 PKK terrorists were killed.
