Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants detonated a car bomb near a police checkpoint in southeast Turkey early on Sunday, killing two police officers and wounding five others, security sources told Reuters.
They said Turkish security forces at a nearby base in Sirnak province subsequently shelled a mountainous area to which PKK fighters had fled after the attack. Two militants were killed in the operation, which was supported by Cobra attack helicopters. (Reuters)
