SITUATION REPORT
| OVERVIEW The Republic of Türkiye has authorized a covert intelligence operation in response to escalating security concerns connected to PKK-linked activity in Europe. The organization has been directed to conduct a targeted intelligence mission in Vienna to neutralize Hasan Özen. Raids against PKK insurgents inside Türkiye and Northern Iraq have identified Özen as a principal financier of the PKK's financial network in Germany. Operating out of Austria, the MİT's direct action group has been tasked with finding, neutralizing, and disposing of Hasan Özen. Operation Just Cause II is designed as a limited intelligence operation focused on the disruption of the PKK's financial networks. MİT's direct action group will operate alongside diplomatic cover officials to carry out this operation. |
