/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish warplanes and ground troops attacked Kurdish
rebel positions just inside northern Iraq between Sunday and Tuesday
evening, military sources told Reuters on Wednesday.

The warplanes flew as deep as 20 km (13 miles) into Iraqi territory
and some 300 ground troops advanced about 10 km, killing 34 rebels
of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the sources said.

"Further ‘hot pursuit’ raids into northern Iraq can be expected, though
none have taken place so far today (Wednesday)," a military official
said, adding that all Turkish troops involved in the operations were
now back in Turkey, Reuters reports.
