Turkish security forces neutralized three YPG/PKK terrorists in northern Syria and northern Iraq, authorities said on Wednesday.

Axar.az reports citing foreign media that terrorists targeted in Operation Pence-Yildirim Zone, Euphrates Shield Zone, says National Defense Ministry.

One terrorist in the Operation Pence-Yildirim Zone in northern Iraq, and two terrorists in Euphrates Shield Zone in northern Syria were neutralized by commandos, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Twitter.

The ministry also posted footage of the operations.

The Pence operations are a series of offensives Turkey has carried out since 2019 against terrorist organizations in northern Iraq, particularly the PKK.

In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU – has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants. The YPG is the PKK's Syrian offshoot.
