ANKARA, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Two soldiers were killed and four others wounded on Thursday in an armed clash between Turkish security forces and Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in the southeastern province of Siirt, local Dogan News Agency reported.
The soldiers were specialized sergeants, and the wounded were taken to Siirt Public Hospital by helicopter, it said.
The armed clash came as government operations with aerial support against the PKK went on in the rural parts of Pervari district of Siirt Province.
The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU, resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
