DAGLICA, TURKEY — Turkey deployed warplanes after the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) staged a deadly attack on Turkish soldiers on Sunday.
Two Turkish armored vehicles were attacked by roadside bombs in Daglica in Hakkari, a PKK stronghold on Sunday. The bombing was followed by a gun battle. It was reported that a total of 16 Turkish soldiers had been killed in the attack, according to Reuters.
Turkey then deployed two F-16 and two F-14 fighter jets, which struck 13 PKK targets amid poor weather conditions. The operation continues on Monday.
"The pain of our security forces who were martyred in the treacherous attack by the separatist terrorist organization sears our hearts," Turkish president Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement, according to Reuters.
The attack appeared to be the deadliest of its kind since the collapse of a ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK in July.
