One Turkish soldier was killed and three others wounded Tuesday in Turkey's southeastern Diyarbakir province in new violence blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), the army said, according to AFP.
Fighting erupted during an operation to "capture and neutralise" the militants after they had blocked a road connecting the Lice district of
Diyarbakir to Bingol province in southeast Turkey, the army said in a statement."
Four of our personnel were wounded in the clashes and one of our soldiers who was badly wounded succumbed to his injuries in hospital and was martyred," the army said.
