Turkish military have "neutralized" 831 terrorists in cross-border operations in northern Iraq since April, said the defense authorities on Saturday, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
According to the National Defense Ministry, Turkish soldiers have seized nearly 1,300 weapons and 316,000 ammunitions belonging to the terrorists since Operations Pence-Simsek and Pence-Yildirim were launched in April.
Over 1,400 caves and shelters as well as 1,800 improvised explosive devices have been destroyed so far during the operations.
Turkish authorities use the term "neutralized" to imply the terrorists in question surrendered or were killed or captured.
The ministry also released new footage of Turkey's ongoing operations in Iraq's Metina and Avasin-Basyan regions.
Footage shows Turkish armed forces entering the shelters used by terrorists to clear the area from terrorists despite difficult ground conditions.
