Turkish security forces killed seven members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, on Monday in a counter terror operation on Mount Tendürek of eastern Turkey, Ağrı Governor's Office said in a statement.
“Seven terrorists were neutralized in a helicopter-backed operation against the separatist terror organization, the PKK, in the countryside of Mount Tendürek," it explained.
After yesterday's deadly attack which killed 6 security personnel in Istanbul and Şırnak provinces, Turkey's law enforcement authority had intensified its operation against terrorist organizations.
Meanwhile, police units in Istanbul and Aydın have launched simultaneous pre-dawn operations and detained at least 24 terror suspects.
