The clashes erupted Thursday morning in Yesimli village of Sirnak's Uludere town along the Turkish-Iraqi border, said the report.
The wounded were sent to Sirnak State Hospital by a helicopter for medical treatment, said the report, adding that a large-scale operation was launched to capture the PKK militants who fled the scene.
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, more than 40,000 people have been killed in conflicts involving the group.
