The Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office issued a detention warrant for 17 individuals as part of an ongoing investigation. This led to a widespread operation spanning Istanbul, Gaziantep, and Ağrı.

While 10 suspects were successfully apprehended during the operation, authorities discovered that three others were located abroad. Plans are underway to issue arrest warrants for these individuals.

Efforts to locate the remaining four suspects are ongoing.

The PKK, recognized as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, has been engaged in a decades-long conflict with Turkish security forces. Operations targeting PKK members and supporters are regularly carried out across the country as part of efforts to maintain security. (ILKHA)
