According to the statement of Turkish General Staff, Turkish fighter jets hit PKK terrorists who tried to cross into Turkey's southeastern Hakkari province from northern Iraq.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its armed campaign against Turkey in July 2015.
Since then, it has been responsible for the deaths of some 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including a number of women and children.
