In Claw-Tiger Operation, 11 PKK members identified in the Zap and Haftanin regions of northern Iraq, were neutralized in an airstrike campaign, the statement said.

The attacks have taken place in the Qandil Mountains, the Sinjar District, and Makhmur, against PKK’s targets. Claw-Eagle, the air campaign, began on 15 June 2020.
