Turkish jets have killed two PKK terrorists in southeastern Turkey, the military said on Tuesday.

According to a Turkish General Staff statement, the warplanes on Monday carried out airstrikes in Hakkari's Semdinli district.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU -- resumed its armed campaign against Turkey in July 2015. Since then, it has been responsible for the deaths of more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians.
