Turkish security forces “neutralized” three PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.
The terrorists were targeted in the Operation Claw Lock zone as a result of the army’s “determined operations,” said the ministry on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock last year in April to target the PKK terror group’s hideouts in the Metina, Zap, and Avasin-Basyan regions of northern Iraq, located near the Turkish border.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and European Union – has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
