The Turkish Armed Forces killed more than 50 members of the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorist organization, the Turkish General Staff reported on June 30.

Operations on terrorists’ elimination have been carried out recently in the southeastern provinces of Turkey.

Eight warehouses with ammunition were destroyed during the operations.
