Overview
The PKK has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on the Turkish defense company TUSAS, which resulted in five deaths and injuries to over 20 others. In response, Turkey has conducted extensive airstrikes targeting PKK locations in northern Iraq and Syria, asserting that the attackers were acting in line with the group's long-standing conflict against the Turkish government. Despite a recent political context suggesting potential peace talks, the PKK maintains the assault was premeditated and unrelated to current negotiations. The situation raises concerns over escalating violence and civil casualties in the region.
