STORYLINE:
In northern Iraq, a senior member of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was killed by the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in a cross-border operation, the state-run TRT broadcaster reported Wednesday.
The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, and the European Union, has rebelled against the Turkish government for more than three decades.
The "neutralized" PKK member Bekir Kina, codenamed "Bawer Botan," was allegedly trained in Iraq's Sulaymaniyah province for assassination attempts against Türkiye's security forces, the TRT reported.
Turkish authorities often use the term "neutralized" in their statements to imply the "terrorists" in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
According to MIT, Kina, who joined the PKK in 2019 and received weapons training in Sulaymaniyah, intended to infiltrate Türkiye to carry out attacks.
In northern Syria, at least six members of the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) were killed by Turkish forces, according to Türkiye's Defense Ministry.
In a statement, the ministry said Turkish forces "neutralized" the YPG members after they opened "harassment fire" targeting Türkiye's Operation Olive Branch zone in northern Syria.
Türkiye sees the YPG group as the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
The Turkish army launched Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016, Operation Olive Branch in 2018, Operation Peace Spring in 2019, and Operation Spring Shield in 2020 in northern Syria in order to create a YPG-free zone along its border within the neighboring country.
