ANKARA (AA) – The Turkish National Defense Ministry released footage Sunday of Turkish artillery units hitting terrorist targets in northern Iraq.
It was posted on the ministry’s X account with the caption: "The trap is closing. Our heroic artillery is destroying the targets with precision."
In its nearly 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US and the European Union — has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
Terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq, just across the Turkish border, to plot terror attacks in Türkiye.
