Turkish jets bomb Kurdish PKK rebels near Iraq

An F-4 Phantom jet: Turkey says the bombing was a response to a PKK attack on a military outpost

Turkish F-16 and F-4 warplanes have bombed Kurdish PKK rebel targets in Hakkari province near the Iraqi border, Turkish media report.

Both sides have been observing a ceasefire and it is the first major air raid on the PKK since March 2013.
Hurriyet daily said the air raids near the south-eastern village of Daglica on Monday caused "heavy casualties".

Kurds are angry at Turkey's refusal to help defend the Syrian border town of Kobane from Islamic State militants.
