A so-called senior PKK terrorist was captured alive in Turkey's southeastern Şırnak province on Wednesday, according to the interior ministry.
The ministry's statement said two PKK terrorists were killed and one captured alive in the operation conducted in Sirnak's countryside.
The captured terrorist was identified as Emrah Nayci, the terror group's so-called senior representative of Gabar, the statement said.
Operations in the area are ongoing, it added.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of some 40,000 people, including women and children.
