TURKEY’S weekend bombing raids on Kurdish targets could spell the end of a two-year ceasefire with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the party warned yesterday.

Following rising tensions with its oppressed Kurdish community, Turkey combined Saturday’s air strikes against Islamic State (Isis) with attacks on shelters and storage facilities operated by the PKK in Iraq.

Hours after the air raids, a car bomb killed two soldiers in the south-eastern Turkish town of Lice, while gunmen opened fire on police stations in several other towns in the area, apparently without causing any casualties.
