Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said airstrikes on Sunday and Monday neutralized 26 terrorists.<\/p>\n
The airstrikes neutralized terrorists in northern Iraq’s Avasin-Basyan region, the Silopi area in eastern Turkey’s Sirnak province, and the Hani area in the southeastern Diyarbakir province, the statement added.<\/p>\n
Shelters and weapon emplacements used by terrorists were also destroyed during the operation, the statement said.<\/p>\n
Airstrikes on PKK targets in northern Iraq have been carried out regularly since July 2015, when the PKK resumed its decades-long armed campaign.<\/p>\n
In another statement, the Turkish General Staff said that another 10 PKK terrorists were neutralized in Qandil, northern Iraq — the headquarters of the terrorist PKK — on June 10.<\/p>\n
Turkey has launched anti-terror operations in northern Iraq’s Qandil and Sinjar regions, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on June 11.<\/p>\n
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as the U.S. and the EU.<\/p>\n
In its terror campaign against Turkey, which has lasted for more than three decades, over 40,000 people have been killed, including women and children.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist!
