Turkey neutralizes 2 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq

ANKARA (AA) – Turkish forces neutralized two PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said Thursday.

The terrorists were neutralized in the Operation Pence-Kaplan region, the ministry said on Twitter, sharing footage of the operations.

“Our heroic Turkish Armed Forces keep inflicting a blow on the PKK terrorist organization,” stated the ministry.

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

PKK terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq, across Turkey’s southern border, to plan terrorist attacks in Turkey.

The Pence operations are a series of offensives Turkey has carried out since 2019 against terrorist organizations in northern Iraq, particularly the PKK.

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 at least 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
