Security forces in southeastern Turkey on Friday seized explosives and ammunition belonging to the PKK terror group.
According to the local authorities in the Hakkari province, the gendarmerie launched an operation in the Çukurca district after spotting on a hideout of the terror group on June 24.
Searching the area, the gendarmerie seized at least 102 ammunitions for air defense, as well as ammunitions for 128 anti-aircraft and seven mortars. They also confiscated 320 kalashnikovs and two hand grenades.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. The YPG is the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
