A senior member of terrorist group PKK/KCK was arrested in southern province of Adana, Turkish judicial sources said on Saturday.

In a statement, the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office in Mersin said that Turkish security forces arrested Davut Baghestani along with 3 other people in Adana.

Turkish police seized 6 mobile phones including 3 belonging to Baghestani and other digital documents, the statement added.

All suspects have been taken to provincial gendarmerie command in Mersin for questioning.

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.
