Turkish military ‘neutralizes’ 4 PKK terror members in northern Iraq

Turkish military forces ‘neutralized’ four members of PKK terrorist group in northern Iraq, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

“Four PKK terrorists detected in the Operation Claw-Lock area in northern Iraq were neutralized,” the ministry said on X.

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

The ministry said: “Our operations will continue resolutely until there is not a single terrorist left in the region!”

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.

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.
