TUNCELI, Turkey, June 23 (Reuters) - Two Kurdish militants rammed an oil-filled truck into a Turkish police station on Saturday in a suicide attack, army sources said, marking a sharp escalation of separatist violence.

After the explosion other members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) attacked the station in the eastern province of Tunceli and the army responded with an operation supported from the air, the sources said.

The two militants in the truck were killed but no further details were available on the death toll.

The PKK attacks are a serious and an ongoing problem, which could destablise northern Iraq.

The Turkish PKK and the Kurds of northern Iraq hate each other.
