The news is confirmed by Turkey's Defence Ministry.
The exact place where the event has taken place is the Hakkari province, a country within Turkey that borders Iraq and Iran.
The PKK is considered a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the European Union. It was established in 1984 and requires autonomy of Kurds living within Turkey's territory.
Kurds are still scattered into four states in the Middle East and do not yet have their own country. The Kurdish population is about 40 million.
