Turkey intensifies anti-PKK security operation in southeast
None
Turkey's armed forces have launched a large-scale military operation against Kurdish rebels in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir.
The state-run Anadolou Agency cited the military as saying the operation is focused on the Diyarbakir districts of Lice, Silvan, Kulp and Hazro, where an outlawed armed Kurdish movement has a presence.
It said roughly 1,000 security personnel—including counter-terrorism police from the capital Ankara and Istanbul—were deployed Tuesday as part of the operation.
