According to a statement issued by Hakkari Governor’s Office on Sunday, the clashes erupted between the PKK fighters and the Turkish troops in the region between Evliyanyayla and Kelektepe in the Semdinli district of the province, AFP reported.

Meanwhile, eight police officers died and nine were wounded in a roadside mine explosion in Turkey’s eastern province of Bingol.

Local security sources said PKK militants detonated the remote-controlled bomb as a police vehicle was passing in the Karliova district of the province.

The latest attack comes a day after four Turkish soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb planted by PKK members in Hakkari province.

The blast took place on Saturday afternoon when a military convoy was passing on the Hakkari-Cukurca highway. Five other soldiers were wounded in the mine blast.

A recent statement issued by the General Staff of the Turkish Armed Forces said that a total of 330 PKK militants were killed in 974 military operations from February to August.

PKK has been fighting for an autonomous Kurdish region inside Turkey since the 1980s. The conflict has left tens of thousands of people dead.
