Turkey-PKK-Deaths
Two Turkish soldiers and three Kurdish rebels have died in clashes in south-eastern Turkey, near the border with Iraq on Sunday.

The fighting took place during an operation against the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Sirnak province, the Turkish officials said.

Turkey has launched repeated air and land attacks in the region, targeting PKK rebels based in northern Iraq.

The PKK has been fighting for Kurdish self-rule since 1984.
