Turkish security forces "neutralized" three PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the National Defense Ministry said on Monday.
The terrorists were targeted in the Operation Claw-Lock zone, a ministry statement said.
Turkish forces use the term "neutralize" to indicate the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
Türkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock in April to target the PKK terror organization's hideouts in northern Iraq's Metina, Zap, and Avasin-Basyan regions near the Turkish border.
It was preceded by Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle launched in 2020 to root out terrorists hiding out in northern Iraq and plotting 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, and EU-has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
