In a statement, the Ministry emphasized Turkey’s commitment to combating terrorism, declaring:

“Our Turkish Armed Forces do not let the terrorists breathe! Eleven PKK terrorists detected in the Hakurk, Metina, and Gara regions in northern Iraq were neutralized. We are determined to destroy terrorism at its source!”

The operations are part of Türkiye’s ongoing efforts to target PKK positions in northern Iraq, which the government says are being used as bases for attacks on Turkish soil. The Ministry reiterated its resolve to continue anti-terror efforts until the threat is completely eliminated.
