58 members of terrorist group captured in Silopi

The Turkish military said that 58 members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) were captured in the eastern province of Şırnak's Silopi.

The military added that the terrorists were captured while trying to escape. Turkish military forces launched operations against the PKK in eastern Turkey. A total of 315 terrorists were killed since then, while 95 were killed in Silopi.

Thousands of people have left their homes so far, as the PKK has been threatening the security of civilians and terrorizing the region.

Turkey has been fighting against PKK determinedly to rescue the cities from militants by declaring curfews and launching operations in the region.

The PKK is an armed militant group that has been carrying out terror attacks, mostly in southeastern Turkey, since the early 1980s.

Since then, more than 40,000 people have died in the conflict.
