ANKARA

Turkish jets pounded PKK positions in northern Iraq, the Ministry of National Defense said Wednesday.

PKK's arm emplacements, hideouts and ammunition depots were destroyed in an air strike in Hakurk region, the ministry said in a tweet.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign, the PKK -- considered a terrorist group by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has killed more than 40,000 people, including numerous women and children.
