Two militants of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have been killed and a third has been injured in violent clashes with Turkish security forces, officials say, Press TV reported.
"Two terrorists were captured dead, and one was wounded," the local sub-governor, Senol Kaya, told the Anatolia news agency on Tuesday.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community, including Turkey, Iran, the United States, and European Union member states.
Over 40,000 people have lost their lives since the PKK launched its armed campaign against Ankara in 1984.
The PKK militants launch their attacks from Iraq's Qandil Mountains.
