Turkey troops killed in ambush

15 Turkish soldiers were killed in the raid launched by fighters of the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) in southeast Turkey bordering Iraq. Twenty soldiers were wounded and two more are still missing. It was the worst single attack on the military in a year. Turkish fighter jets carried out fresh airstrikes against PKK targets in northern Iraq.
