Turkey says 25 PKK militants killed in clashes

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Turkish military claimed that its air raids inside Iraq last week killed 25 members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in their hideouts, according to Today’s Zaman.

The military, citing damage and casualty assessments as well as information from "sensitive sources," said on its website that 25 rebels were killed and 23 were wounded in an aerial attack on June 24 in the Mount Kandil area, where the main PKK base is located on the Iraqi-Iranian border. The report could not be independently verified.

The military said its warplanes last week bombed suspected PKK positions in the Mount Kandil area along with positions in the Zap region across the Turkish border.
