Turkish warplanes bombed several targets of the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in northern Iraq on Friday.
The sources said that the Turkish warplanes hit the PKK targets in the regions of Bradost and Hakurk in Duhok province at 13:00 p.m. local time (1100 GMT).
The sources also disclosed that some Turkish warplanes flew over Zerge, Maredu, Lewce and Zargel regions in northern Iraq, but did not stage any attacks.
The Turkish military has recently launched several cross-border attacks to fight against PKK separatists, who use the Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq as a launch pad for attacks against Turkey.
The PKK, listed by the United States and Turkey as a terrorist group, took up arms against Turkey in 1984 with the aim of creating an ethnic homeland in the southeast. More than 30,000 people have been killed in the over-two-decade conflict.
