At least seven PKK gunmen were “neutralized” during security operations in the southeastern province of Tunceli, Turkish regional governor’s office said late Tuesday.

Seven bodies, including one female, were found in a field, following the operation, and sent to Tunceli State Hospital for preliminary autopsies.

Security forces seized infantry rifles, other heavy weapons and mines. Two shelters used by the gunmen were also destroyed.

The operation in the region remains ongoing, the statement said.
