Two PKK terrorists surrendered to Turkish security forces in southeastern Mardin’s Nusaybin district along the Syrian border, local officials said.
The Mardin Governorate on Monday said two PYD/PKK terrorists surrendered to security forces on June 13 at Syria border.
Separately, in Mardin's Kiziltepe district, 10 kilograms of explosives buried in a farmland were seized during counter-terror operations, said security sources speaking on the condition of anonymity due to media restrictions.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as the U.S. and EU. In its more than three-decade terror campaign against Turkey, more than 40,000 people have been killed.
Since the group resumed its armed campaign in July 2015, more than 1,200 people, including security force personnel and civilians, have lost their lives.
