Türkiye's recent operations highlight its unwavering commitment to tackling terrorism and enhancing regional security. These actions reflect a strategic initiative designed to disrupt terrorist activities and uphold stability in the affected regions.

Turkish officials use the term "neutralise" to indicate that the terrorists involved either surrendered, were killed, or captured during these operations.

The PKK, designated as a terrorist organisation by Türkiye, US, and EU, has waged a 40-year campaign of violence against Türkiye, resulting in over 40,000 deaths, including women and children.
