Turkish forces kill 2 PKK fighters in northern Iraq
ANKARA – Turkish security “neutralized” two PKK fighters in northern Iraq, according to the National Defense Ministry.
The “terrorists were neutralized” in the Operation Claw-Tiger zone with support from the Air Force, the ministry said on Twitter.
“Our fight against terrorists in northern Iraq continues with determination,” the statement added.
Turkish authorities use the term “neutralize” to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
Türkiye has launched successive operations against the PKK in northern Iraq since 2020, most recently starting Operation Claw-Lock in April to target PKK hideouts in Iraq’s Metina region.
That was preceded by Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle, which were launched in 2020 to root out PKK recruits hiding in northern Iraq and plotting cross-border attacks in Türkiye.
