ANKARA, Dhu-AlHijjah 15, 1436, September 29, 2015, SPA -- President Tayyip Erdogan said the Turkish military had killed more than 30 Kurdish militants on Friday in a cross-border operation he described as part of the rebels' "last struggle", Reuters reported. Erdogan, addressing village leaders at the presidential palace on Tuesday, did not say where the targets were; but the military has been bombarding Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) positions in the mountains of northern Iraq as well as the mainly Kurdish south-east of Turkey following the breakdown of a ceasefire in July. "Our security forces are continuing with their operations both inside and outside the country," he said. "We have had cross-border operations overnight and more than 30 PKK militants have been killed. These will continue for now but you should know that this is their last struggle." --SPA 15:26 LOCAL TIME 12:26 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
