Türkiye ‘neutralizes’ 12 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq

Terrorists targeted in Metina region during Operation Claw-Lock, National Defense Ministry says

ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish security forces “neutralized” at least 12 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said on Saturday.

The ministry in a statement on X said the terrorists were targeted in the Metina region during Operation Claw-Lock.

Turkish Armed Forces will resolutely demolish terrorist hideouts, it added.

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

In its more than 35-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.

Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock in April 2022 to target the terror organization's hideouts in northern Iraq's Metina, Zap and Avasin-Basyan regions near the Turkish border.
