Earlier on Friday, the ministry said that the Turkish Armed Forces had neutralized four terrorists as part of the operation.
Turkish authorities use the term "neutralized" to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
Turkey's Operations Claw-Tiger and Claw-Eagle were launched this week to ensure the safety of the Turkish people and borders by neutralizing the threat of the PKK and other terrorist groups.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
