Ankara, Aug 29, 2016 (AFP) — Turkish warplanes bombed Kurdish militant targets in northern Iraq on Monday, as Ankara pressed its military operation against IS jihadists and a Syrian Kurdish militia in neighbouring Syria, state media said.

Jets of the Turkish air force launched strikes between 09:30 and 10:55 GMT against targets of the "separatist terrorist organisation" in Gara in northern Iraq, Anadolu news agency said, referring to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
