Three security personnel were martyred and seven people were injured, including two village guards, on Monday by a bomb which exploded on a highway in southeastern Turkey's Mardin province.
According to military sources, which cannot be named due to security reasons, PKK terrorists detonated explosives as a vehicle carrying soldiers and village guards travelled along the Kiziltepe - Derik highway. The wounded were immediately taken to Derik State hospital and an operation was launched to catch the terrorists.
One soldier succumbed to his injuries at the Derik state hospital, raising the death toll to three, the sources said.
The treatment of the two injured village guards and five soldiers is still ongoing at the hospital, the sources added.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU and resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
Since then, PKK terrorist attacks martyred more than 600 security personnel and also claimed the lives of many civilians, including women and children, while more than 7,000 PKK terrorists have been killed in army operations. -
