ISTANBUL, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Turkey's military has detained and brought charges against the eight Turkish soldiers recently released by Kurdish separatists for disobeying orders that have facilitated "catastrophe," military sources said on Sunday.

The eight soldiers were seized by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) last month, but released last week.

It was not immediately clear to what exactly the charges were referring to.
