Two PKK terrorists killed in eastern Turkey

The terrorists were killed in clashes in a rural area of the eastern province of Agri, where a major was killed and four other Turkish soldiers were injured clashes last week.

Operations are underway in the region, the agency added.

Turkey, provided with intelligence by the United States, stepped up its campaign to crackdown on the PKK both inside Turkey and in northern Iraq, after the terror organization increased its attacks on Turkish soldiers, as well as civilians.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist group by Ankara and much of the international community, including the EU and the United States.
