(Reuters) - Turkish security forces have launched an operation targeting shelters and stores believed to belong to Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants in southeast Turkey, the military said in a statement on Tuesday.

It said five teams in the Mazidagi area of Mardin province were conducting the operations which follow a weekend call from jailed PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan for the group to hold a congress on ending its 30-year insurgency against the state.
