Explosion in Turkey’s southeast kills 2 soldiers

Turkey’s state-run news agency reports Kurdish rebels have killed two soldiers and wounded three others in the southeastern province of Mardin.

The Anadolu Agency says Wednesday an improvised explosive device went off as an armored vehicle was passing the town of Derik. It blames the attack on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.

Turkey has been caught in the throes of violence, combating both the PKK and the Islamic State group.
