Tuesday’s (September 8) bombing is the latest in a daily stream of attacks by the outlawed PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) on solders and police in eastern Turkey since fighting resumed in July. On Sunday the PKK killed 16 soldiers near the Iraqi border.
Turkey responded with warplanes pounding targets in northern Iraq where the group has bases.
President Tayyip Erdogan said the PKK had suffered “serious damage.”
