Kurdish fighters met with Turkish artillery strikes in northern Iraq

"Turkish artillery battered Kurdish separatist positions across northern Iraq over the weekend, hitting at least 25 targets and “neutralizing several terrorists,” according to defense and security officials. The defense ministry specified that it struck “caves, bunkers, shelters, stores, and installations” being used by the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), an armed separatist group committed to the creation of an independent Kurdish state."
