Turkiye intensified its military response with airstrikes on Kurdish militant targets in Syria and Iraq following a lethal assault on the aerospace company TUSAS. The attacks, which resulted in at least five fatalities, have prompted heightened military action across the region.

The National Intelligence Organization, according to Anadolu Agency, struck strategic sites tied to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and affiliated militias. The offensive targeted military and infrastructure facilities, employing armed drones to execute Thursday’s strikes.

The violence follows a complex attack at TUSAS, involving armed assailants who killed four TUSAS employees. Meanwhile, Syrian sources report civilian casualties due to Turkish air raids, further aggravating the tense geopolitical atmosphere.
