Four PKK terrorists were killed in a clash with Turkish security forces in the southeastern part of the country, the army said late on Friday.

The clash took place in the Lice district of Diyarbakir province during a military operation there, the Turkish militarty said in a statement.

Kalashnikov assault rifles, ammunition, hand grenades and PKK documents were seized in the aftermath of the clash, it added.

The terrorists were believed to be among those responsible for an attack on a military vehicle at the end of April in which nine soldiers were killed, Dogan News Agency said.

The PKK, which launches cross-border attacks on Turkey from bases in northern Iraq, is listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
