Turkish military aircraft have attacked Kurdish fighters across the border in the mountains of northern Iraq, Turkey's General Staff has said in a statement.
 
The raids early on Sunday struck 10 villages and left at least one woman dead and two others wounded, local officials said.
 
Several homes and a school were destroyed, they said.
The mayors of Jarawa and Sankasar, two Iraqi towns northeast of Sulaimaniya in the northern Kurdish region, said the air strikes were launched at 2am (23:00 GMT) and continued for several hours.
Turkey's armed forces have conducted several cross-border military operations in recent weeks against members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), who use northern Iraq as a base from which to attack security forces inside Turkey.
