(Xinhua) -- Turkish Security Forces killed Friday a rebel of the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in a clash between them in the eastern part of the country, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.
One PKK rebel were killed while two army soldiers were wounded in the clash in a remote part of eastern province of Van on Friday, security officials were quoted as saying. The clash occurred as the security forces launched large-scale operations in the region to track down those runaway PKK rebels. The injured soldiers were rushed to a nearby military hospital in downtown Van with helicopters, according to the report. |
