Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Turkey attacked Kurdish separatists in Northern Iraq yesterday in its third cross-border attack within a week, Agence France-Presse reported, citing a Turkish military statement.

Turkish aircraft attacked positions of the separatist organization PKK before shelling the area with artillery, AFP said, citing the statement.

The statement gave no details about the targets, saying that more information would be released next week and that Turkey would carry out more operations in spite of harsh winter conditions in the mountainous region, AFP said.
