Turkish warplanes conducted airstrikes on suspected Kurdish Militant Targets in northern Iraq following a suicide attack on a government building in Ankara. The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) claimed responsibility for the bombing, which wounded two police officers. The Turkish defense ministry reported that 20 PKK targets were destroyed in the airstrikes. Turkey has been conducting cross-border offensives against the PKK in northern Iraq and views the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as an extension of the PKK. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the attack "the last stand of terrorism" and reiterated Turkey's aim to create a safe zone along its border with Syria.
