Turkish warplanes on Monday struck Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) bases in northern Iraq a day after a deadly bomb attack in the capital killed 36 people, the army said.

The fighter jets hit arms depots and shelters of the outlawed PKK in the mountainous Kandil and Gara regions in northern Iraq, the army said.

The targets were hit "with precision", it added.
