Turkey on Thursday renewed its aerial campaign on Iraqi Kurdistan, striking PKK targets in the northern mountainous region in retaliation against the killing of a Turkish diplomat in the region.

The Turkish vice consul to Iraq's autonomous Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) was on Wednesday by gunmen in the local capital Erbil.

There was no claim of responsibility for the attack, which killed two other people, but regional media has pointed to the role of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a Kurdish militia which Ankara considers a terrorist organisation.
