Soldier killed in terror attack in southeast Turkey

Soldier died in hospital after being injured in a bomb attack by PKK militants

One of three soldiers who were taken to Dicle University Hospital early in the morning after being injured in a terror attack has died on late Friday in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır.

The incident happened 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.

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 loses in the area.

The joint force has already killed more than 230 terrorists in the last month and secured many neighborhoods as terror-free areas. President Tayyip Erdoğan vowed to clean the region of terror organizations and stated in his new year message that the operation will continue in 2016 with the same determination.
