Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants attacked a military outpost and a police vehicle in southeast Turkey overnight, killing a policeman, officials and security sources said on Sunday, in further violence jeopardising a fragile peace process.

The last police officer killed died in clashes near a police station in Istanbul in the northwest of the country. Elsewhere across Turkey, at least eight people were killed and a dozen injured in a series of incidents aimed at security and police officials.

Three people have been killed and seven wounded in clashes between Turkish security forces and suspected PKK militants in the Kurdish town of Silopi.
