The Turkish General Staff has said that 10 PKK terrorists were "neutralized" in anti-terror operations in southeastern Turkey on Thursday.
The military said Friday that five PKK terrorists in Nusaybin district of Mardin province, another in Sirnak province and four others in the Yuksekova district of Hakkari province were killed.
It is added that several home-made explosive devices were disposed of and weapons were seized.
The PKK -- also listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in late July 2015.
Since then, more than 290 members of the security forces have been martyred and thousands of PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq.
