Turkish Airstrikes Hit Kurdish Militants' Targets in Iraq

The Turkish Ministry of Defense stated that "the Turkish army conducted airstrikes in northern Iraq today, destroying 13 targets belonging to Kurdish militants and 'neutralizing' a number of extremists in the attack." In a statement on the social media platform X, the ministry said that "the targets hit by the bombardment included caves, shelters, and storage facilities where militants are believed to be located." It added that "the strikes targeted the Hakurk, Gara, Qandil, and Metina regions in northern Iraq." Turkey typically uses the term "neutralizing" to refer to killing.
