Turkish F-16 jets, guided by intelligence from drones, hit a group of Kurdish smugglers in northern Iraq last week, leading to one of the highest single-day civilian death tolls in Turkey’s decades-old conflict with the rebels.

The killings set off several days of violent demonstrations in mostly Kurdish cities.

Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc said late Monday that compensation will be paid to the families of the victims in a few days, but he did not specify how much.
