Six PKK terrorists have been killed in anti-terror operations carried out in the Yüksekova district of southeastern Hakkari province on Sunday.

Four militants were killed, one shelter and two caves used by terrorists were also destroyed in an air strike between 9:05 - 9:45 p.m. local time, the statement by Turkish military said.

Two other terrorists were killed on the same day in a separate operation, the statement added. In total, 341 terrorists have been killed in the operations conducted in Hakkari province, it further said.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU, and resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.

Since then, PKK terrorist attacks have martyred more than 600 security personnel and also claimed the lives of many civilians, including women and children, while more than 7,000 PKK terrorists were killed in army operations.
