MARDIN, Turkey: Turkish security forces killed two PKK terrorists in a clash in the southeastern Mardin province, the governor office said early Saturday.

A police officer was wounded during the clash with the terror group in the Nusaybin district, according to a statement that said the operation is ongoing in the region.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and EU -- resumed its armed campaign in July 2015 and has since been responsible for the deaths of approximately 1,100 security personnel and civilians, including women and children.
