Turkey ‘neutralizes’ 10 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq
Terrorists taken down in Qandil, Hakurk regions, says Turkish National Defense Ministry.
Turkish security forces “neutralized” 10 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
The terrorists were taken down in Qandil and Hakurk regions, the Turkish ministry said in a statement.
Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
PKK/YPG terrorists often hide out across Türkiye’s border in northern Iraq and Syria, where they plot attacks on Turkish forces or the local populations.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is its Syrian branch.
