ANKARA (AA) – At least nine terrorists were neutralized during an operation in eastern Tunceli and Kars provinces, the Interior Ministry said on Tuesday.
Turkish authorities often use the word “neutralized ” in their statements to imply the terrorists in question either surrendered or were killed or captured.
In a statement, the Interior Ministry said the provincial gendarmerie unit had launched an anti-terror operation and “neutralized” five terrorists in Tunceli and two in Kars.
Later in the day, two more women terrorists were “neutralized ” in a clash in Tunceli’s Cirtik Deresi district, the regional governor’s office said in a statement.
Two soldiers were also injured in the clash.
