Latest media reports said that the ambush took place in the Hani district of the southeastern Diyarbakir province on Friday.

The injured soldiers were rushed to a nearby hospital following the incident.

Turkish forces have reportedly launched a massive manhunt across the region to apprehend the suspects.

Several Turkish troops have also been injured during a series of attacks by suspected PKK members in eastern provinces of Agri and Erzurum over the past 48 hours.

The latest ambush came after two police officers were killed in an attack on a police station in the Pozanti district of the southern province of Adana in the early hours of Friday. Two of the assailants involved in the attack were also killed when police returned fire.

Also on Thursday, a Turkish State Railways worker was killed and another wounded in a bomb explosion near the Sarikamis district of the eastern province of Kars. The bomb had been planted on rail tracks.

Senior Turkish officials blame the PKK for the recent wave of attacks on Kurdistan.
