Several Killed in Turkey As Soldiers Clash With Kurdish Militants
DIYARBAKIR -- Turkish policemen have detained two different British journalists from Vice News for revealing due to the largely Kurdish southeast without the need for authorities degree, safety and security methods said on Friday.
Smoke rose above the town of Cizre near the Syrian border after Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) rebels armed with rocket launchers attacked a military base in the afternoon, according to security sources. "Security forces have shelled a neighbourhood, and hit residential buildings", said Abdullah Zeydan, a lawmaker representing the pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP).
The supporters of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in Turkey have launched a rally in the city of Istanbul to protest against Ankara's growing crackdown on Kurdish militants.
The source went on to say that at least six others, including three Turkish soldiers, were wounded in the fighting. Video footage released by Ruptly showed demonstrators throwing Molotov cocktails and fire bombs at police vehicles. One of them was a father-of-three aged 32, said Zeydan.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.
The source added that more than 580 PKK members have been injured in the recent strikes by the Turkish army, beside the destruction of several PKK machine guns.
The PKK has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region inside Turkey since the 1980s.
