Turkish security forces on Friday launched another counter-terrorism operation in the country's east, the Interior Ministry said.
The operation, called the Eren Abluka-38 (Elazığ-Arıcak) Martyr Gendarmerie Private Cem Havale Operation, started in the province of Elazığ with 485 security personnel, said a ministry statement.
The operation aims to completely eliminate terrorism in the country, it added.
Türkiye initiated Eren operations last year, naming them after Eren Bülbül, a 15-year-old boy killed by the PKK terror group on Aug. 11, 2017.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK-listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the U.S. and EU-has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
