As many as nine Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists have been killed in an operation after PKK terrorists opened fire on Turkish soldiers in the Şemdinli town of southeastern Hakkari province.
The PKK's attacks were carried out in the Samanlı and Cedikan districts. The attacks left two soldiers wounded. The wounded soldiers were taken to the hospital for treatment.
Following the attacks, an operation was conducted on the PKK near Turkey's border with Iraq.
During the operation, at least nine PKK members were neutralized.
Elsewhere, five village guards were wounded by a PKK roadside bomb in Turkey's southeastern Siirt province.
According to the same source, PKK terrorists detonated the device on the Siirt-Sirnak road as village guards passed by.
Five guards were wounded and taken to Eruh State Hospital, the source added.
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July last year, since when more than 600 security personnel have been martyred and around 7,000 PKK terrorists killed.
