Turkish security forces have seized weapons and ammunition belonging to the PKK terror group during an anti-terror operation in the eastern Van province, said local officials on Monday.
As part of ongoing operations to find PKK/KCK terror group shelters, gendarmerie forces seized two Kalashnikov infantry rifles and some ammunition in the province's central area of Sozveren, said the Van Governorship.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the Syrian offshoot of the PKK.
