Türkiye struck 23 members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in an air raid some 140 kilometers into northern Iraq, the Defense Ministry said on Sunday.

It said all the group had been "neutralized", which typically means killed.

Türkiye regularly carries out cross-border air strikes, often with armed drones, in neighboring Iraq as part of its offensive against PKK there.

On Thursday, Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said the military had hit 16 targets in air strikes that week in the same Asos region deep into Iraqi territory.
