Turkey launched its Kapan-4 Mava anti-terror operation to eliminate terrorists in the country's southeast, the Interior Ministry announced Thursday, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
In a written statement, the ministry said Kapan counter-terrorism operations launched last week were underway despite winter conditions.
In order to back earlier such operations in the region, authorities launched Operation Kapan-4 Mava to neutralize terrorists thought to be sheltering in the Mava district of the southeastern province of Batman, the statement said.
A total of 795 security personnel including gendarmerie and police as well as village guards are taking part in the operation.
Ramping up its fight against terrorists, Turkey launched Operation Kapan last week to eliminate terrorists in the southeastern Mardin province, after completing Operation Kiran across the region against YPG/PKK terrorists.
