SIRNAK, Turkey
Two soldiers were injured in a PKK terrorist attack in the southeastern province of Sirnak, a security source said on Monday.
The source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to the media, said that the military engaged in a clash with the PKK terrorists after the terrorists opened fire on Gendarme forces of the Idil district.
The wounded soldiers, one of them in critical condition, were taken to Sirnak State Hospital via helicopter and later transferred to Gulhane Training and Research Hospital, the source added.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU. Its over three-decade terror campaign against Turkey has taken more than 40,000 lives, including women and children.
