Turkish security forces have killed 21 members of the Kurdish paramilitary group, the PKK, in south-eastern Turkey, officials in the area say.
Three members of the Turkish armed forces also died in the three-day operation in Siirt province, they said.
It is reported to be the biggest clash in the area since the PKK declared a unilateral truce in 1999.
Turkey's war with the separatist PKK guerrillas in the 1980s and 1990s left more than 30,000 people dead.
