Turkish soldiers were attacked in northern Iraq by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), resulting in the death of 6 soldiers and injury of 1. Subsequent attacks led to a total of 12 soldiers being killed. In response, Turkey conducted airstrikes in northern Iraq and Syria, targeting terror locations and reportedly 'neutralizing' terrorists. The intense fighting between the Turkish Army and PKK has prompted concerns about a heavy-handed Turkish response. The airstrikes have targeted oil installations and a civilian hospital in Northeast Syria, leading to escalating tensions in the region.
