The Turkish army says it's killed nearly 50 Kurdish rebels over the past two days in a major military offensive. Turkey launched the action earlier this week after militants killed more than 20 of its soldiers. From Istanbul, Jonathan Head reports.

土耳其军方宣称，在过去两天的大型军事进攻中，杀死将近50名库尔德叛军。武装分子曾杀死20多名土耳其士兵，随后的本周早些时候，土耳其发动这次行动。Jonathan Head在伊斯坦布报道。

A wave of public anger has swept through much of Turkey after Wednesday's deadly attack by the PKK, and thousands of troops have been sent to the Iraqi border to pursue the insurgents. The Turkish military has now publicised the results of its operation. In a statement on its website, it says 49 PKK fighters have been killed over the past three days. Army units have recovered dozens of bodies from a valley which was bombed from the air and by ground artillery. The statement says operations against the PKK are continuing on both sides of the border.

库尔德工人党(PKK)周三发起致命攻击，引起土耳其群情激愤，数千名军人被派遣至伊拉克边境追捕叛军。土耳其军方公布了这次行动的结果，在其网站的声明中，军方声称过去三天杀死49名PKK武装分子，部队从一个被陆空炮火轰炸的山谷中捡回数十具尸体。声明还说，将在边境线两边继续进行对PKK的军事行动。
