Three outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants were killed in a security operation in the İpekyolu district of the eastern province of Van on June 10.

Counter-terrorism police and intelligence units conducted an operation at a house in the Hacıbekir neighborhood, where militants were preparing an attack.

Three PKK militants were killed in clashes after they responded with fire to security forces’ call for surrender.

Four PKK militants were also wounded in the operation and fled to a forested area near the scene.

Security forces’ search works are continuing in the region.
