Articles About Terrorist Activities

Seven PKK terrorists were killed in clashes with Turkish security forces in the southeastern part of the country, the army said on Saturday.

One village guard was also killed and another was injured in the clashes in the Eruh district of the southeastern province of Siirt, the military said in a statement posted on its website.

The Turkish military launched an operation in the area following a mine explosion in Eruh that killed one village guard and injured another on Friday.

The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq and frequently uses remote-control landmines to target the country’s security forces, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
