ISTANBUL: Three Turkish soldiers were killed and four wounded in an attack by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants in northern Iraq, the Turkish Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The PKK, designated a terrorist group by Turkiye, the United States and the European Union, took up arms against the Turkish state in 1984.

Turkiye regularly carries out air strikes in neighboring Iraq as part of its offensive against PKK militants based there.
