Ankara has confirmed the death of dozens of its soldiers in the Kurdistan Region by the PKK since April.
The ministry claimed on Saturday that, in what seemed to be a retaliatory attack, they neutralised seven PKK fighters in the same area. Turkey often uses the term "neutralise" to refer to combatants killed or injured on the battlefield.
PKK has not commented on either incidents.
Ankara launched Operation Claw against the PKK in Khakurk in May 2019. This was followed by Operation Claw-Tiger in June 2020. The third edition of the offensive was a ground and air cross-border operation, dubbed Operation Claw-Lightning and Operation Claw-Thunderbolt, launched in April 2021. All of these operations focused on the PKK’s positions in the Kurdistan Region’s Duhok province.
On Sunday, Turkey launched Operation Claw-Sword against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region, mostly in Sulaimani province, and the Kurdish fighters in northeast Syria (Rojava) whom Ankara claims are linked to the PKK.
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important...has said that a ground operation could be followed "soon."
