Ankara: 108 Kurdish fighters "neutralized" last week

Some 108 Kurdish fighters have been "neutralized" in operations targeting southeastern Turkey and northern Iraq last week, the Turkish military said on Saturday.

The military uses the term "neutralization" to refer to operations by opposition forces that have been killed, wounded or captured.

Others were neutralized 31 fighters from the outlaw Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in the southeastern provinces of Tunceli, Mardin, Diyarbakir and Sirnak. Another 77 fighters had been neutralized in cross-border operations.

Earlier on Saturday, the military said it had killed six militants in an airstrike targeting the northern Iraqi city of Hakurk.

Turkey regularly launches airstrikes against PKK targets in northern Iraq, where the group is based in the Qandil Mountains, but has also recently threatened to expand its operations in Sinjar.

Ankara has long protested that PKK militants are being allowed to operate outside Sinjar against Turkish targets.

President Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkey would do "whatever it takes" if an Iraqi operation against the militants failed, raising the prospect of a possible Turkish military operation.

Turkish forces are currently conducting a full-scale military operation in the Afrin region of northern Syria against the Kurdish YPG's black militia, which is an extension of the PKK.
