ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Kurdish rebels attacked Turkish military units with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades Tuesday in southeastern Turkey, sparking clashes that killed 18 rebels and eight soldiers, authorities said. The attack drew a strong condemnation from Turkey’s leader.
Another 16 soldiers were wounded in the attack in the Daglica area of Hakkari province, which borders northern Iraq’s Kurdish areas, the governor’s office in Hakkari said.
