ISTANBUL, July 14 (Reuters) - Kurdish militants killed a dozen soldiers and wounded six others in clashes in southeast Turkey on Thursday, officials in Diyarbakir province said.
The clashes were the worst since the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) ended a six-month ceasefire in February, moving to what it calls an "active defence" stance, whereby its fighters defend themselves if threatened. (Writing by Simon Cameron-Moore)
