The clashes erupted Wednesday between PKK members and security forces on Mount Cudi in Silop town of Sirnak province, leaving six PKK members killed, said the report.
Six Turkish security personnel were also killed and 10 others wounded in the clashes, added the report.
The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union, took up arms in 1984 in a bid to create an ethnic homeland in southeastern Turkey. Since then, Turkey has been fighting the PKK and more than 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts involving the group.
