ANKARA, Jul 30 (NNN-TRT) – The Turkish intelligence, yesterday, “neutralised” two senior female militants of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), in a cross-border operation in northern Iraq, the semi-official Anadolu Agency reported.
The Turkish intelligence found out that the PKK members were preparing for an attack on the operation zone of Turkish troops, in the Hakurk region of northern Iraq, Anadolu quoted anonymous Turkish security officials as saying.
PKK members, Vesile Duran, code-named Ronahi Dilhvin, and Dilan Oklu, code-named Arin Tolhildan, were reportedly wanted by Türkiye for terror crimes. They were “neutralised” when they came to a meeting place in Hakurk, to convey instructions for the planned attack.
Duran allegedly joined the PKK in 2014, crossed into northern Iraq in 2015, received armed training, and started operating in the region on behalf of the group, said Anadolu, adding, Oklu also joined the armed actions of the group in 2014.– NNN-TRT
