One Turkish soldier was killed and six other were severely wounded when a group of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorists attacked a gendarmerie outpost in a rural area of the district of Lice in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır late on Friday.
The PKK terrorists attacked a military checkpoint near the Duru gendarmerie outpost, lying at the crossroads of Hani Road and the Bingöl-Diyarbakır highway, with rocket-propelled grenades.
Soldiers at the outpost immediately returned fire.
Reinforcement troops backed by helicopters were deployed in the area to hunt the group which attacked the checkpoint and the outpost down.
