Security forces have uncovered a massive underground eight-story PKK shelter during anti-terror operations in eastern Turkey, regional governor's office said on Friday.
The 100-meter deep facility, which features a swimming pool and bathrooms, was found in the rural sides of Tunceli province.
The PKK terror group used the shelter for hiding, the office said in a statement.
Security forces also discovered two other shelters in the area, it added.
Ammonium nitrate, generators, batteries, stoves, tents, clothes were among the materials confiscated during the raids, it added.
