KURDISH separatists raided a Turkish police station and fired on railway workers in two attacks that left five dead, officials said yesterday.

Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants opened fire on the police station in the town of Pozanti, in southern Adana province, late on Thursday, killing two officers in a battle that also left two guerillas dead.

In the eastern province of Kars, the PKK blew up railway tracks and later fired on rail workers who had been sent to repair the line, killing one.
