MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th October, 2018) Two militants from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) were either killed or captured by Turkish forces in eastern Agri province, local media reported on Wednesday, citing the governor's office.
The counter-terror operations, in which two PKK militants were neutralized, were conducted in a rural area of the province, according to the Anadolu news agency.
Operations in other parts of the region are ongoing, the agency said.
Tensions between Ankara and the Kurds escalated in July 2015 when a ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK collapsed over a series of terror attacks allegedly committed by the PKK members. The Turkish forces are involved in anti-PKK raids across the country and in northern Iraq.
