Turkish fighter jets "neutralized" two PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, the Turkish National Defense Ministry said on Monday.
In a Twitter post, the ministry said the terrorists were "neutralized" in the Avasin-Basyan region.
Authorities often use the term "neutralized" in statements to imply terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
The airstrikes destroyed weapon emplacements, shelters and arms depots used by the PKK terrorists, according to the ministry.
On May 27, Turkey launched the Operation Claw against PKK in the Hakurk region of northern Iraq. The ongoing offensive has so far "neutralized" 62 terrorists.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
