The Turkish military carried out airstrikes Tuesday in Iraq and Syria, saying it was targeting the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, a group it considers to be terrorists. In a written statement, the Turkish armed forces said it had "neutralized" 70 PKK "terrorist" fighters — 40 in northern Iraq and 30 others in northeastern Syria. But two other Kurdish groups, which the United States is assisting in the fight against ISIS, said the strikes killed more than 20 of their fighters.
