Türkiye ‘neutralizes’ 6 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq

ANKARA 

Turkish security forces “neutralized” six PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, Türkiye’s National Defense Ministry said on Saturday.

The terrorists were targeted in the Operation Claw-Lock zone, the ministry said on X.

The terrorist PKK is known for using northern Iraq, near the Turkish border, as a hideout to plot terror attacks.

Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.

In its nearly 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
