Meanwhile, police in Istanbul conducted a series of raids across the city, including a branch of Turkey's pro-Kurdish political party, detaining 17 suspected Kurdish militants, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The cross-border raid and police operation came a day after four Turkish soldiers were killed near the border with Iraq in attacks targeting military vehicles and eight other people died in southeast Turkey in simultaneous bomb attacks targeting police vehicles.
