Turkey has launched missile strikes in northern Iraq and Syria, targeting the Kurdistan Workers' Party after 12 military personnel were killed. The strikes have led to power outages in 2,600 villages, 9 towns, and the city of Qamishli in northeast Syria. The air force 'neutralized' 26 Kurdish militants in response to the soldier killings. Civilian sites, including oil industry sites, health facilities, and vital infrastructure, have been hit, reducing electricity production by 50% in northeast Syria. Reports of Turkish soldiers committing atrocities have also emerged.
