The jets returned to their air base without any damage after conducting the airstrikes, the statement also noted.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU.
Founded in 1978, the terrorist group resumed its decades-long armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
Since then, more than 1,200 people, including security force personnel and civilians, have lost their lives, while the terrorist group has lost some 10,000 militants, who were either killed or apprehended in anti-terror operations by the Turkish security forces.
