Turkey Plans to Build Wall on Iranian Border to Block Access for PKK
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Anadolu news agency citing the Turkish General Staff, three caves and four bunkers were destroyed in air raids in Metina, Zap, Avasin-Basyan and Gara in northern Iraq. Three camp areas were also destroyed.

Tensions between Ankara and the Kurdish pro-independence PKK escalated in 2015, after a three-year ceasefire between the two sides collapsed over a series of terror attacks allegedly committed by PKK members.

Ankara began launching regular airstrikes against PKK in both northern Iraq and Turkey in July 2015.
