Turkish security forces “neutralized” three PKK terrorists in northern areas of Iraq and Syria, near Turkey’s border, the National Defense Ministry said on Sunday.
In a statement, the ministry said one terrorist was neutralized by Turkish drones in northern Iraq’s Avaşin region.
Two terrorists were neutralized by Turkish commandoes in northern Syria as they attempted to infiltrate the Operation Peace Spring area, it added.
Turkish authorities often use the term “neutralized” in statements to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
