The strike on April 30 also destroyed several hideouts in the Zap and Avashin-Basyan region and weapons depots used by the terrorists, the agency said.
The raid came a day after 10 Turkish soldiers were killed in attacks carried out by the terror organization PKK in the southeastern provinces of Diyarbakir and Hakkari.
The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq and frequently uses remote-control landmines to target the country's security forces, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
