Two Turkish Soldiers, Five Kurdish Terrorists Killed in Attack
Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorists armed with rocket launchers and rifles attacked a military outpost in southeast Turkey, triggering a clash in which two Turkish soldiers and five PKK fighters were killed, the military reported on Tuesday.
The attack was launched in the Semdinli district of Hakkari Province, which borders Iraq and Iran, at 5:35 p.m. on Monday, the armed forces statement said.
Thousands of terrorists and hundreds of security force members and civilians have been killed since the conflict between the PKK and the state resumed last July after a 2½-year cease-fire.
The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkey and its Western allies, began its insurgency in 1984 and more than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
