Turkey destroys 25 Kurdish militant targets in northern Syria, Iraq
Turkey conducted air strikes in northern Syria and Iraq, targeting 25 Kurdish militant positions, as announced by the Turkish Defense Ministry on Saturday.

The defense ministry stated that a significant number of militants were "neutralized" - a term generally used to indicate fatalities - in air strikes that destroyed 25 targets, including caves, shelters, and depots.
The announcement follows an incident on Friday, where nine Turkish soldiers were killed during a clash with members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
