Turkey has taken its decades-old conflict with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) deep into the Kurdistan Region, establishing military bases and deploying armed military drones against the fighters in their mountain strongholds.

On Friday, Turkish media reported that a senior PKK member, who was the head of Kirkuk region, was killed during a joint operation by Turkey’s intelligence and army in Qandil region.
