Türkiye neutralizes 2 PKK terrorists in northern Iraq VIDEO

Turkish security forces "neutralized" two PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, near the Turkish border, the National Defense Ministry said on March 25.

The terrorists were targeted in the Gara region in an air operation, a ministry statement said, Anadolu reports.

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

PKK terrorists often hide out in northern Iraq and Syria to plot cross-border attacks in Türkiye.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the US, UK, and EU — has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
