Clashes between Turkish security forces and Kurdish rebels in southeast Turkey on Tuesday left six soldiers dead and three others wounded, the army said.
Fighting erupted in a mountainous area near Eruh town in Siirt province during a security operation against rebels from the Turkey's Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a statement on the general staff's website said.
Five soldiers died in that operation while three troops were wounded.
