The incursion came as cross-border operations continued in the wake of last week’s attack by Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters that killed 24 Turkish soldiers. The armored column was headed in the direction of a militant camp at Haftanin, around 20 km from the Habur border post, and near the Iraqi city of Zakho, the sources said.
