(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) ISTANBUL, Dec 25 (KUNA) -- Two Turkish soldiers were killed in an attack by PKK militants in Turkey's southeastern province of Hakkari, the military said Monday.
The attack took place when a group of Turkish soldiers was carrying out an ongoing counterterrorism operation in Semdinli district, during which another soldier was wounded, the army said in a press release.
