Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Turkish army conducted military operations in northern Iraq against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), banned in the country. The Turkish Ministry of Defense said on December 23 that the decision was made after the death of 12 Turkish soldiers.

The Turkish Defense Ministry's page on social network X states that the military has begun conducting "sudden air operations against identified targets."

According to preliminary information, 13 terrorists were neutralized as a result of the clash.

As Regnum reported , the conflict between the Turkish authorities and the Kurds has been going on since 1921. The Kurds are fighting for existence and the creation of autonomy within Turkey. The PKK has been fighting for the rights of the Kurds since 1978. The party was recognized as terrorist and banned both in Turkey itself and in the USA, EU and a number of other countries.
The PKK started out as yet another Soviet-supported national liberation movement, so Russia has a sentimental attachment.
In December 2023, the Turkish Ministry of Defense responded to joint US exercises with representatives of the Kurdistan Workers' Party in Syria. Washington was called upon to behave as an ally if they want to have the support and trust of Ankara, and also to stop collaborating with terrorists.
