Turkish helicopters swooped into Iraqi territory firing on abandoned villages northeast of Zakhu, an Iraqi Kurd town near the border with Turkey.
The helicopter raids were directed at suspected hideouts of the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK.

A spokesman for the Iraqi Kurd regional administration, Jamal Abdullah, denied the helicopter attack report but said two Turkish warplanes dropped flares Monday in the mountains near the Iraqi town of Zakhu.
