On Tuesday, Turkey also sent two units of its special forces, comprising 230 troops into northern Iraq for the first time in more than two years to pursue PKK terrorists across the border, a military source said.
On Thursday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that a full-scale ground operation against PKK in northern Iraq would be launched “if necessary”.
