At least seven PKK terrorists were killed in Turkey's southeastern Hakkari province and northern Iraq on Saturday, according to the local governor's office, APA reports quoting Anadolu.
In a drone strike in Hakkari four PKK terrorists were killed, said a statement released by the Hakkari Governor's Office.
The terrorists were allegedly involved in the martyrdom of Capt. Murat Ucoz and a rocket attack on a military convoy in Cukurca district of Hakkari, the statement added.
Later on Saturday, PKK terrorists in northern Iraq fired mortars at Turkish forces in Cukurca district of Hakkari, according to a second statement from the governor's office.
