At least 56 PKK terrorists were "neutralized", including 45 killed and 19 planned terror attacks thwarted across Turkey between Oct. 10 and Monday, according to an Interior Ministry statement.
 
The statement said out of the 56 PKK terrorists, 35 were "neutralized" during ground operations, including 24 killed, two injured, three captured and surrender of six others in ground operations, while 21 other terrorists were killed by air strikes.
 
The security forces also thwarted PKK’s plans to carry out 19 terrorist attacks, including seven bomb vehicles and a suicide bomb attack, the statement added.
 
Anti-terrorist operations continue against terrorists, the statement added.
 
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July 2015.
 
Since then, PKK terrorists have martyred more than 700 members of security forces and claimed lives of numerous civilians, including women and children, while around 8,000 PKK terrorists have been killed or apprehended in army operations.
