Turkey Strikes Kurdish Targets After TUSAS Attack

Turkey has launched a series of airstrikes against Kurdish militant targets in Syria and Iraq following a deadly attack on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) headquarters near Ankara, which killed five people. The assaults targeted 47 sites used by the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and affiliated Syrian Kurdish militia, with claims that numerous militants were 'neutralized'. The Turkish government has blamed the PKK for the attack, although no immediate claim of responsibility was made by the group. The strikes have led to the deaths of 12 civilians in Syria, according to the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which includes the Kurdish YPG that Turkey regards as a terrorist organization. The violence has escalated tensions in the region, with Turkey's President Erdogan vowing to continue actions against the PKK. The international community, including NATO, has expressed solidarity with Turkey, although the situation remains tense with ongoing military operations.
