PKK terrorists killed five civilians attacking a group of agricultural laborers heading to collect wood in Turkey’s southeastern Diyarbakır province, the governor’s office said in a statement Wednesday.
The attack took place on the road between Kulp and Hazro districts near Güleç neighborhood when PKK terrorists detonated a roadside bomb, the statement read, according to Turkish media.
Security forces launched an operation to capture the terrorists.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK - listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and the EU - has been responsible for the deaths of nearly 40,000 people, including many women, children, and infants.
