ANKARA (AA) - A total of 30 terrorists, including three so-called PKK leaders, were “neutralized” during counter-terrorism operations across Turkey in the past one week, the Interior Ministry said Monday.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its armed campaign against Turkey in July 2015.

Since then, it has been responsible for the deaths of more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including a number of women and children.
