NEWSDESK, — Conflicting news are coming through about ground operations by Turkish army into the Kurdistan Federal Region, after the PKK simultaneous attacks on military outpost last night, ANF reports.
While Turkey’s military says about 10,000 soldiers are taking part in the operation launched after, the PKK is denying Turkish army entering South Kurdistan (northern Iraq).
Turkish General Staff announced in a statement that; “Following these attacks, a large-scale ground offensive backed by air strikes has been launched in five separate regions within the country and outside the borders with 22 battalions composed of commandos and special operation units”.
The PKK denied the claim by the Turkish army.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not articulate about the operation but said that “our goal is to achieve results with this operation; the military is determinedly carrying out this [operation], both from the air and the ground.”
