Turkish forces seize explosives belonging to PKK terrorists

Turkish security forces on Monday seized explosives and survival supplies stored by the PKK terrorists during an operation in the southern Amanos Mountains, according to local officials.

The Amanos Mountains-also known as the Nur Mountains-have emerged as a hideout for the PKK, from where the terrorist group plots attacks.

In a statement, the Osmaniye Governorship said gendarmerie forces had discovered the shelters during an operation in the foothills of the mountains.

In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK-listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU-has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women and children.
