Turkish security forces “neutralized” seven PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, near the Turkish border, authorities said on Monday.
The terrorists were targeted in Türkiye’s Claw-Lock and Claw-Tiger anti-terrorism operation zones, the National Defense Ministry said.
Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock in April to target PKK terrorist hideouts in Iraq’s northern Metina, Zap, and Avasin-Basyan regions, near the Turkish border. It was initiated after Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle to root out terrorists hiding in northern Iraq and plotting cross-border attacks in Türkiye.
