ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The bodies of 13 civilians were discovered under the rubble in the troubled Kurdish city of Cizire in southeastern Turkey late Saturday in the aftermath of armed clashes between the Turkish army and pro-Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) fighters.

Turkish military forces found the dead bodies of 13 civilians and placed them in mass graves since the corpses were reportedly too deformed and dismembered to be identified.

Despite the cessation of hostilities in Cizire civilian corpses are being found under the rubble of the buildings on a daily basis.

There are military curfews still imposed on a few Kurdish cities in southeastern Turkey where hundreds of civilians, PKK guerrillas and Turkish army soldiers have reportedly been killed.

Turkey officially announced on February 12 that its military operations against PKK fighters in the Kurdish city of Cizire is over.

The Turkish-PKK war reignited last July after a two year truce and failed peace accord.
