Turkey has struck suspected Kurdish militant targets in Syria and Iraq for a second day after a deadly attack on the premises of a key defense company.

Defence Minister Yasar Guler said Turkish forces struck 29 targets in northern Iraq and 18 in northern Syria. The United States-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said Turkish strikes in northern and eastern Syria killed 12 civilians, including two children, and wounded 25 people.

Turkey continued its strikes in Syria and Iraq for a second day following the terrorist attack on a defense company in Ankara, in what Turkey said were targeted hits on PKK terrorist locations.
