Suicide Attack by Kurdish Militants in Turkey Kills 2 Soldiers
Kurdish militias carried out a suicide attack on a Turkish military police station in eastern Turkey on Sunday, killing two soldiers and wounding 24 others, the local authorities said.
In an overnight assault, members of the separatist Kurdistan Worker’s Party, or P.K.K., rammed a tractor loaded with two tons of explosives into the station located in the Dogubeyazit district of Agri province, close to Turkey’s border with Iran, the local governor’s office said in a statement.
The attack comes at a time of heightened tensions between the armed group and the Turkish state, following the collapse of a two-year ceasefire and Turkey’s resumption of air raids on P.K.K. targets in northern Iraq.
