PKK bomb martyrs 2 soldiers in SE Turkey

Three soldiers were martyred and one other was wounded in a PKK roadside bomb attack in Turkey's southeastern Siirt province on Wednesday, a security source said.

An operation to arrest the PKK terrorists is still underway in the region, the source 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, nearly 600 security personnel, including troops, police officers and village guards have been martyred and more than 5,000 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq.
