The Turkish air force has pounded
Kurdish militants a day after a deadly bomb attack on a rally for peace
in the capital Ankara.
Planes attacked Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) targets in both the south-east and over the border in northern Iraq.
Saturday's twin bombing in Ankara killed at least 95 people, making it the deadliest such attack in years.
Security sources say they suspect the so-called Islamic State (IS) group was behind the attack.
The air force struck after the government rejected a new ceasefire announced by the PKK on Saturday.
Turkey was already tense before Saturday's attack, with a snap general election looming on 1 November.
The
governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) lost its overall majority
in June after gains by the pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP),
which was involved in Saturday's rally. Deep shock and anger in Ankara: "This is the worst scene I've ever seen." Who are the Kurds? Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds: What's going on?
'Without a break'
PKK positions were destroyed in the Metina and Zap areas of northern Iraq in Sunday's air strikes, the Turkish military said.
On
Saturday, the air force targeted the PKK in Turkey's Diyarbakir
province. Forty-nine people were reported killed in the strikes, but
theses figures could not be verified independently.
"The PKK
ceasefire means nothing for us," one senior Turkish security official
told Reuters news agency. "The operations will continue without a
break."
The government has furiously denied opposition suggestions it was involved in the Ankara bomb attacks itself.
HDP leader Selahattin Demirtas accused the government of failing to fully investigate earlier attacks on political rallies.
"The
state which gets information about the bird that flies and every flap
of its wing, was not able to prevent a massacre in the heart of Ankara,"
he said.
According to the HDP, the true death toll from Saturday is at least 128.
The Turkish authorities believe two suicide bombers struck at the rally on Saturday.
Two senior security officials who spoke to Reuters said the initial signs were that IS was to blame.
"All
signs indicate that the attack may have been carried out by Isil [IS],"
one of the unnamed sources said. "We are completely focused on Isil."

Police used water cannon on protesters in Diyarbakir
Thousands of people gathered in the centre of Ankara to remember the victims.
There
was a clear sense of anger towards the government, with people blaming
it for security failures, the BBC's Selin Girit reports.
In the
south-eastern city of Diyarbakir, police used tear gas and water cannon
to disperse people protesting about the Ankara bombing.
Outside Ankara's forensic morgue, families and friends of victims waited grief-struck for the bodies of their loved ones.
"Everyone came here to defend peace," Umit, whose his sister died in the attack, told AFP news agency.
Another
person outside the morgue, Havva, said: "Those who do not believe in
brotherhood, those who don't believe in equality of the people of this
country, are the ones who provoked what we saw yesterday in Ankara."
