Turkey: 1 soldier killed in Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) attack in Sırnak
A soldier has been killed and another wounded during an operation against the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey, a security source said on May 11.
The source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to the media, said the security forces had been running a counter-terror operation in the Bestler-Dereler region in the Şırnak province.
During the operations, improvised explosives planted by the PKK detonated, injuring two soldiers.
The soldiers were rushed to Şırnak State Hospital, where one soldier succumbed to his wounds, sources said.
