| Live to fight another day: Not found in Kurd Kommie parlance Turkey’s army foiled a Kurdish attempt to storm a base in the southeastern Hakkari province early on Saturday, killing 35 militants, military officials said. The militants attempted to take the base in three different groups, but were spotted by aerial reconnaissance. An air operation was launched, killing 23 of them, the officials said. Four more were then killed in a ground operation, they said. The remaining eight were killed hours before in clashes in Hakkari’s Cukurca between soldiers and militants from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), the officials said. The soldiers were performing a security check when they were attacked by militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) late Friday. Friday’s clashes in Cukurca also left 25 soldiers wounded, the officials said. |
