ANKARA: At least 11 PKK terrorists were killed by the Turkish army in an air operation early Monday, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) announced.

The military said the air operation took place in northern Iraq’s Zap region, after the terrorists were found at the mouth of a cave.

More than 1,200 people, including security force personnel and civilians, have lost their lives since the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July 2015.
