sites at Qandil, Metina, Avasin, Haftanin and Basyan used by
Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants, the armed forces said.
Separately, a bomb blast blamed on PKK militants hit an armored
police vehicle near Turkey's border with Iraq on Friday, Turkish
officials said. Two special force police officers were injured
in the explosion on a road in Hakkari province's Yuksekova
district, they added.
A ceasefire between the PKK and the state collapsed in July and
attacks on Turkey's security forces have increased amid a surge
in violence in the predominantly Kurdish southeast, killing
hundreds of people.
