The Kurdish Workers' Party has upducted three journalists working for Anadolu Agency in Turkey's southeastern Mardin province and has been holding them for more than 48 hours, AA said on Sunday.
The journalists are being held at an unknown location; their cameras were also seized.
Anadolu Agency correspondent Rauf Maltas (31), photojournalist Onur Coban (36) and cameraman Kenan Yesilyurt (26) were assigned last week to Mardin's Nusaybin district to cover stories in the region.
The PKK - which is seen as a terrorist organisation in Turkey and also in the US - has been clashing with Turkish security forces since last summer.
