Turkish airstrikes killed three PKK terrorists in country's eastern Agri province, the General Staff announced early Thursday.

The General Staff said the operation took place on Wednesday, after the military was tipped off about terrorists plotting in rural areas of Eleskirt, Agri.

The airstrikes also destroyed a shelter, the General Staff added.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the EU and U.S. -- has killed more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including women and children, since it resumed attacks over two years ago.
