A Turkish television station is reporting that Kurdish rebels have opened fire on a convoy carrying troops, killing a driver and injuring four soldiers.
CNN-Turk says the rebels ambushed the convoy Thursday near the town of Lice, in southeastern Diyarbakir province.
The military often transports soldiers in civilian vehicles to minimize attacks on troops.
The station says the military is launching an operation to catch the rebels.
Rebels belonging to the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, have been fighting for self-rule in southeast Turkey since 1984. The fighting has killed tens of thousands of people.
Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union consider the PKK a terrorist organization.
