Türkiye claims success against Kurdish fighters
Turkish forces “neutralized” three members of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Iraq, the Defense Ministry announced on Tuesday….

The tweet included a video of a Turkish Bayraktar attack drone releasing a bomb….Türkiye uses the term ‘neutralized’ regardless of whether the fighters were killed or captured.
The strike in Iraq came a day after a Turkish soldier was killed in an attack on a military base, according to an earlier report by the Turkish Defense Ministry.
Türkiye launched a massive air operation against the PKK and its Syrian offshoot, the YPG, in late November, after a bomb attack killed six people in Istanbul and injured more than 80 others. Ankara blamed the attack on “PKK/YPG terrorists” and carried out airstrikes in northern Iraq and Syria in response, naming its offensive ‘Operation Claw Sword’.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the airstrikes were “just the beginning,” and that a ground offensive would follow.
Both the PKK and YPG deny any involvement in the Istanbul bombing.
