contents An unknotting operation is a local move such that any knot diagram can be transformed into a diagram of the trivial knot by a finite sequence of these operations plus some Reidemeister moves. It is known that for all $n \geq 2$ the $H(n)$-move is an unknotting operation for classical knots and links. In this paper, we extend the classical unknotting operation $H(n)$-move to virtual knots and links. Virtualization and forbidden move are well-known unknotting operations for virtual knots and links. We also show that virtualization and forbidden move can be realized by a finite sequence of generalized Reidemeister moves and $H(n)$-moves.
