ANKARA (AA) – Turkish forces “neutralized” four PKK terrorists in operations in northern Iraq on Sunday.

According to a briefing by the military, after locating PKK terrorists in Iraq’s Dohuk district an operation with an armed drone “neutralized” one and heavily injured two others.

Another operation with an armed drone was conducted near Chale Mountain in the same region, accounting for three more terrorists.
