Turkey Launches Airstrikes in Iraq and Syria After Deadly Ankara Attack

The Turkish government blames the PKK for the attack on a state aerospace company, reigniting tensions amid potential peace talks.

Five people were killed and 22 injured in a terrorist attack at the Turkish Aerospace Industries in Ankara, with the government attributing the attack to the PKK.
In response, Turkey conducted airstrikes targeting PKK positions in northern Iraq and Syria, claiming to have destroyed multiple targets.
The attack occurred amid discussions of a potential new peace process between Turkey and the PKK, including proposals involving the PKK's imprisoned leader Abdullah Ocalan.
The incident has sparked debate over whether it was an attempt to derail peace efforts, as similar attacks have disrupted past negotiations.
The geopolitical implications are significant, with Turkey balancing its relations between NATO allies and Russia, where President Erdogan was attending the BRICS summit.
