At least 42 terrorists have been killed in Turkish domestic counter-terrorism operations across Turkey in the past one week.
According to a statement by the Turkish interior ministry issued on Monday, Security forces carried out nearly 1,400 counter-terrorism operations across Turkey over last week.
In a statement, the ministry said security forces had carried out 1,383 counter-terrorism operations on April 16-23.
During the operations, 131 people were also arrested for allegedly aiding and abetting the PKK terrorist group and 47 others for their suspected links to the Daesh (ISIS) terrorist group.
Also, another 532 people were arrested for suspected links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETÖ), and 12 others for links to leftist terrorist groups.
The PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU — resumed its armed campaign against Turkey in July 2015.
