安卡拉致命襲擊致死37人後 土耳其空襲庫爾德工人黨

Turkey's military said its warplanes carried out 18 airstrikes Monday targeting Kurdish militants in northern Iraq.

土耳其軍方說，土耳其戰機星期一對伊拉克北部地區的庫爾德激進分子發動了18次空襲。

The strikes against the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, came a day after a car bombing killed at least 37 people in Turkey's capital, Ankara.

空襲目標是庫爾德工人黨。一天前，土耳其首都安卡拉發生汽車炸彈襲擊，造成至少37人死亡。

There has been no claim of responsibility and Turkish officials said they expected to announce the results of the investigation into the blast on Monday.

目前還沒有人宣稱對襲擊事件負責。土耳其官員說，預計將於星期一宣佈對這一事件的調查結果。

土耳其總統埃爾多安去年7月宣佈將繼續戰鬥，直至擊敗所有激進分子。此後，土耳其部隊一直在對庫爾德工人黨展開攻勢。
