The Turkish Air Force “neutralized” seven PKK terrorists during counter-terrorism operations in northern Iraq, the military said on Tuesday, Anadolu reported.

According to a statement from Turkish General Staff, the airstrikes on PKK targets were carried out in Iraq's Gara, Metina, Avasin, and Basyan regions.

The terrorists' hideouts were also destroyed, the statement said.

The Turkish authorities often use the word "neutralized" in their statements to imply that the terrorists in question were either killed or captured.
