The Turkish General Staff said in a statement that scores of Kurdish militants had crossed the border from Iraq’s northern and semi-autonomous Kurdistan region into southeastern Turkey on Friday, and sought to mount an attack on a military position in the Cukurca district of the province, located more than 1,000 kilometers east of the capital, Ankara.
Turkish Air Force fighter jets launched an aerial attack in response, killing 20 Kurdish militants.’
