Police officer martyred in southeast Turkey PKK attack

SIRNAK, Turkey

A police officer was martyred during a counter-terrorism operation against PKK terrorists in Turkey’s southeast Sirnak province Tuesday, police sources said.

More than 350 security personnel have been martyred since the PKK, which is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and the EU, resumed its 30-year armed campaign last July.

Thousands of PKK terrorists have also been killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq.
