Ankara - Arab Today
At least five Turkish security personnel were killed and eight others were injured in two separate PKK attacks in southeastern Turkey on Friday.
Four soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb planted by PKK militants went off in southeastern Mardin province, security sources said, according to Turkey's Anadolu Agency (AA).
The incident in Mardins Savur town also left two other soldiers wounded, they added.
Separately, a police officer was killed during an ongoing counter-terrorism operation in Sirnak province.
Six security guards were also injured in the attack in the province's Ismetpasa district, the sources added.
The PKK resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
Since then, over 350 members of the security forces have been killed and thousands of PKK militants killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq.
