ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey’s military said Tuesday that air strikes on suspected Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq this week have killed an estimated 90 to 100 guerrillas and warned that it would press ahead with offensives against the group inside Turkey and across the border.

The military also said in a statement posted on its website that 80 separatist rebels were injured in six days of cross-border air raids that began Aug. 17, hours after eight soldiers and a government- paid village guard were killed in an ambush by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, near the border with Iraq.
