(MENAFN)Turkey’s Defense Ministry said Tuesday in a statement that a number of eight PKK terrorists in northern Iraq were neutralized by the Turkish Air Force.
The ministry revealed in a written statement that the armed forces and National Intelligence Organization worked in collaboration during the operation held in the Gara region.
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 border, to plan attacks in Turkey.
The PKK, designated as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU, has killed more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
