Soldiers kill 10 PKK terrorists in southeastern Turkey

Video footage emerged showing moments following killings of 10 PKK terrorists during an operation conducted by soldiers

The efforts of security forces against the Kurdistan Workers' Party's (PKK) terrorists continue in the southeastern provinces of Turkey.



Video footage has been taken showing the moments after 10 PKK terrorists were killed during operation conducted by soldiers.



In the video, special operations police are heard congratulating the soldier who killed the terrorists.



The policemen were also heard giving information to the soldier on the coordinates of PKK members.





According to the Turkish military, more than 300 terrorists have been killed since December 14, 2015, when anti-terrorism operations intensified.



A curfew was imposed in many districts of provinces in the southeast, including Cizre, Silopi, Sur, and Nusaybin, since operations began.



Many local residents relocated to safer areas after or before the curfew was imposed on the restive towns, which have frequently been the scene of clashes between security forces and the PKK.



The PKK – considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU – resumed its armed campaign in late July.



More than 200 members of the security forces have been martyred and over 3,100 PKK terrorists were killed in 2015 alone.
