Intensified clashes between Turkish troops, PKK claim lives from both sides
[Rudaw] Recent festivities between Ottoman Turkish security forces and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) have resulted in the death of at least two soldiers and injury of three village guards from Ottoman Turkish side and at least two from the PKK.
"Sgt. Zekeriya Zencirli, an infantry expert, was martyred on May 14 following an attack by terrorists," read a statement from the Ottoman Turkish Defense Ministry on Tuesday, without disclosing where he was killed.
Ottoman Turkish media later reported that he was killed during a skirmish with the PKK in the far southeast of the country near the border with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
