Turkey retaliates with airstrikes on PKK targets in Iraq and Syria | DW News

Turkey’s air force has struck Kurdish militant targets in Iraq and Syria, following an attack on a state-run defense company in Ankara on Wednesday. The attackers set off explosives and opened fire — killing at least five people. No group has yet claimed responsibility, though ministers are blaming the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK. The US and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have condemned it as a ‘terrorist attack.’ For some analysis we spoke to Sinan Ciddi, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and to DW correspondent Dorian Jones.
