Turkey: 20 PKK members killed in clashes at the border with Iraq

About 20 Kurdish fighters and nine Turkish soldiers have been killed in clashes in the country's southeast, local sources say.

The sources said on Monday that 20 members of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) died in overnight fighting between the group and Turkish government forces.

"Nine security agents were killed and eight others wounded," Vahdettin Ozkan, governor of Sirnak province, said.

He said the fighters attacked security posts in a town near the border with Iraq.

Ozkan told Turkey's state-run news agency, Anadolu, that the attack occurred in the town of Beytussebap late on Sunday.
