2 soldiers martyred, 4 injured in Turkey PKK attack
Two Turkish soldiers were martyred in an attack by PKK
terrorists in southeastern Turkey on Friday night, Anadolu agency
reported citing security sources.
Security sources told Anadolu Agency on condition of anonymity due
to restrictions of speaking to the media, four soldiers were
wounded in the attack on Tekeli military base in Semdinli town of
Hakkari province.
The wounded were immediately airlifted to hospital, sources
added.
The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization also by the U.S., and
the EU -- resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish
state in July 2015.
Since then, more than 500 security personnel, including troops,
police officers, and village guards, have been martyred and over
4,900 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and
northern Iraq.
