Reuters: Turkish air strikes hit 17 Kurdish militant targets, military says
The Turkish military ratcheted up pressure on Kurdish militants with a fresh round of air strikes in the southeast of the country on Tuesday as the insurgents claimed responsibility for the bombing of a police station in Istanbul.
Warplanes pounded 17 targets in the province of Hakkari on Monday and Tuesday, the military said, part of a renewed crackdown on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) which has waged a three-decade insurgency for Kurdish autonomy.
NATO member Turkey started what it called a "synchronized war on terror" last month, attacking PKK fighters in northern Iraq and, less frequently, Islamic State militants in northern Syria.
