ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish jets killed four PKK terrorists in eastern Turkey, the military announced on Saturday.

In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said the air operation was carried out in the Genc district of Bingol province on Friday.

The airstrikes killed four PKK terrorists thought to be preparing an attack, the statement added.
