Türkiye ‘neutralizes’ 5 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq

‘Our fight against terrorism continues effectively and decisively,’ says National Defense Ministry

ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish security forces “neutralized” five PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said on Monday.

Three terrorists were "neutralized" in the Operation Claw-Lock area in northern Iraq and two in the Hakurk region, the ministry said on X.

Türkiye's fight against terrorism "continues effectively and decisively,” 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 the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.

PKK terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq to plot cross-border attacks in Türkiye.

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