The two day operation by the Turkish army against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) killed 20 member of the group

Alwaght- The two-day operation by the Turkish army against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) killed 20 member of the group.

Turkey's Security sources declared in a statement that the operation was conducted in the Beytussebap region of Sirnak Province.

In another incident, PKK militants in the mountainous Daglica area of Hakkari province where borders Iraq, detonated explosives on a road as a military vehicle passed, killing two soldiers and wounding a third, the sources said.

The autonomy-seeking PKK, deemed a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and European Union, took up arms in 1984, and more than 40,000 people, mainly Kurds, have died in the conflict since then.

Last week, six more PKK militants were killed in clashes with Turkish security forces in the country’s Northern Province of Ordu.

Provincial Governor Irfan Balkanlioglu said the terrorists were spotted and shot dead during an operation in the Mesudiye district of the province.

A ceasefire between Ankara and PKK militants collapsed last year after more than 30 civilians lost their lives in a July 2015 bomb attack in the southern Turkish town of Suruc.
