Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, Turkiye neutralized six members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Iraqi Kurdistan.
According to the Turkish Defense Ministry, the neutralization of PKK militants took place in the areas of Operation Claw-Lock (Pençe-Kılıt) and Gara Mountains in northern Iraq.
The term "neutralize," used by Turkish authorities, indicates that the PKK militants were either killed, surrendered, or captured.
Since the beginning of 2025, Turkish forces have neutralized more than 50 PKK militants.
Operation Claw-Lock, initiated on April 17, 2022, targets PKK positions in the Metina, Zap, and Avashin-Basyan areas.
PKK is designated a terrorist organization by Turkiye, the US, and the EU. It is also a banned group in Iraq.
