Iraqi air defense units intercept and shoot down a Turkish drone flying in the skies over the country’s northern oil-rich city of Kirkuk.

Turkish forces move 15 kilometers into the Iraqi Kurdistan region under the pretext of fighting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group.

Turkey is working on a plan that involves the Iraqi government to eliminate the Kurdistan Workers' Party militant group, the PKK.

Officials say the US shot down an armed Turkish drone operating near its troops in Syria, the first time Washington has brought down an aircraft of NATO ally.

Turkey's foreign minister says all groups and facilities in Iraq and Syria affiliated to the PKK are “legitimate targets.”

Turkish authorities have detained 145 people nationwide on suspicion of being affiliated with the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in response to the recent bomb attack in Ankara.

Turkey has carried out an "air operation" in northern Iraq following a blast in the Turkish capital, with Iraqi President Abdul-Latif Rashid saying Baghdad rejects repeated airstrikes or the presence of Turkish bases in its Kurdistan region.
