BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) - The Turkish military allegedly 'neutralized' 12 members of the Kurdish-led Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) during their attacks in northern Iraq and southeast Turkey this week.

According to the Turkish Ministry of Defense, their air force conducted several airstrikes over Iraq's Zap and Metina regions, inflicting at least four casualties in the ranks of the PKK.

Another eight other PKK fighters were neutralized in an attack by the Turkish military in southeast Turkey on Monday, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement via social media this week.

Weapon emplacements and ammunition depots belonging to the Kurdish-led group were also destroyed during the airstrikes, it added.
