据新华社报道，土耳其国防部当地时间1月13日表示，过去24小时内，土耳其安全部队在伊拉克和叙利亚北部展开军事打击，“消灭”45名“恐怖分子”。

After a high-level security meeting chaired by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the country's communications bureau said in a statement that Turkish security forces were attacked by Kurdish forces in northern Iraq on the 12th, killing nine Turkish soldiers, and that the Turkish security forces then "eliminated" 45 "terrorists" in northern Syria and Iraq. "Turkey will never allow the creation of a 'terror zone' on its southern border under any pretext and for any reason," the statement added.

13日，土耳其总统埃尔多安主持召开高级别安全会议，会后该国通讯局发表声明称，土耳其安全部队12日在伊拉克北部遭到库尔德武装的袭击，造成9名土耳其士兵死亡，“随后土耳其安全部队在叙利亚北部和伊拉克‘消灭’45名‘恐怖分子’。”声明还表示，“土耳其永远不会允许以任何借口和任何理由在其南部边境建立‘恐怖地带’。”

In addition, the Turkish Defense Ministry said earlier on the 13th that the military carried out air strikes in multiple areas of northern Iraq, destroying 29 PKK targets, including caves, bunkers, shelters and oil facilities.

此外，土耳其国防部于13日早些时候表示，军方对伊拉克北部的多个地区进行了空袭，摧毁了29个库尔德工人党目标，包括洞穴、掩体、避难所和石油设施。

The PKK has sought to establish an independent state by force in Kurdish areas along Turkey's borders with Iraq, Iran and Syria. Turkey considers the group a terrorist organization and has repeatedly struck PKK targets across its borders in Iraq and Syria. Starting in April 2022, Turkey launched "Operation Claw Lock" against local Kurdish forces in northern Iraq.

库尔德工人党一直寻求通过武力在土耳其与伊拉克、伊朗和叙利亚交界处的库尔德人聚居区建立独立国家，土耳其将该组织视为恐怖组织，并多次越境伊拉克和叙利亚打击库尔德工人党目标。从2022年4月开始，土耳其在伊拉克北部发起针对当地库尔德武装的“爪锁行动”。
