Are you struggling to keep up with rising gas prices?


Turkey's state-run news agency says six Kurdish rebels have been killed in a clash with soldiers in eastern Turkey.

Anatolia news agency says the clash erupted in Van province near the border with Iran on Saturday. Three other rebels were injured.

Kurdish rebels have been fighting for self-rule in Turkey's southeast since 1984. Tens of thousands have been killed in the fighting.

Some rebels infiltrate Turkey from bases in neighboring Iraq. Turkey has launched several air attacks and one major ground offensive across the border into Iraq so far this year.
