Belgium police conducted a raid on the PKK terror group’s television stations, media reports said Tuesday.

Federal police teams raided the offices of Sterk TV and Medya Haber TV, located in the Eastern Flander province's town of Denderleeuw -- a propaganda base for the terror group.

During the five-hour raid, police confiscated computers and a vast amount of documents.

A statement by the federal public prosecutor's office said the raid was conducted on a request by France regarding an investigation into terrorism financing.

No information was provided if anyone was arrested.

In its nearly 40-year terror campaign against Türkiye, the PKK -- listed as a terror organization by Türkiye, the US, the U and the EU -- has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40,000 people, including women, children and infants.
