Türkiye launches new military operation against PKK
ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish security forces have launched yet another operation in the country’s southeast, the Interior Ministry has said.
The operation, called the “Eren Abluka Autumn Winter-19 (Sirnak-Bestler Dereler) Martyr Gendarmerie Master Sergeant Serkan Unsal-1,” started in the Sirnak province with 470 security personnel.
On the first day of the operation, two caves and 10 shelters were found during the land search carried out in the rural area of the Bestler-Dereler district.
During the searches, a remote-controlled improvised explosive device, two tubes, two kilograms (4.4 pounds) of food, and a large amount of life-sustaining and clothing materials were seized. The shelters were destroyed.
Türkiye initiated Eren operations last year, naming them after Eren Bulbul, a 15-year-old boy allegedly killed by the Kurdish nationalist PKK group on August 11, 2017.
