Six PKK terrorists were "neutralized" by a drone strike during a counter-terror operation in the southeastern province of Şırnak on Friday, the regional governor's office said.
Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply that the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
In a statement, the office said the terrorists were neutralized in an aerial drone-backed operation in the Bestler-Dereler region near Şırnak.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people, including those of women and children.
