A funeral has been held in Turkey's southeastern province of Diyarbakır for the soldiers killed in the Sur district of the province when Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants detonated a planted bomb during a Turkish military search and sweep operation.

Diyarbakır Governor Huseyin Aksoy, the Chief Public Prosecutor of Ramazan Solmaz, the Police Chief Adnan Taşdan and a large number of representatives of non-governmental organizations and citizens attended the ceremony.

A joint force of military and police has been conducting anti-terror operations in some district of the country's southeast, especially Sur, Cizre and Silopi, as PKK militants intensified their terror activities and caused major losses in the area.
