A PKK terrorist was killed Sunday during an attack on an armored police vehicle in southeastern Turkey, security sources said.
The terrorists attacked an armored police vehicle at an intersection in the Yenisehir district of Diyarbakir province, injuring two police officers on Sunday, said security sources, who spoke anonymously due to restrictions on talking to media.
Security forces managed to track the fleeing assailants in an apartment, killing one of them. A rocket launcher and a gun were seized in the apartment.
The PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU – resumed its decades-old armed campaign in July 2015.
Since then, more than 700 security force members have been martyred and around 8,000 PKK terrorists killed or apprehended.
