Turkish warplanes killed 30 people in an air strike in southeastern Turkey near the Iraqi border overnight, apparently mistaking smugglers for Kurdish militants, a local official told Reuters on Thursday, Dec 29.
Turkish warplanes bombed 16 Kurdish rebel targets in neighbouring northern Iraq on Thursday, the latest in a series of air strikes targeting the region since December, the Turkish army said.
