Three Turkish soldiers killed in largely Kurdish South-East provinces
Three roadside bombs left three Turkish soldiers dead and several others injured in Kurdish-majority provinces in the country's South-East
Three Turkish soldiers have been killed and 12 wounded when three separate roadside bombs hit military vehicles in Turkey's largely Kurdish South-East, security sources said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Reuters news agency cited its sources as suspecting the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) of having planted the bombs.
The bomb which killed the three soldiers was set on a road between the provinces of Diyarbakir and Mardin. The two others were in the provinces of Van and Hakkari and wounded 12 soldiers, two of them critically, the sources said.
South-eastern Turkey has witnessed numerous bombings since the PKK, which has waged a three-decade insurgency for Kurdish autonomy in the region, abandoned a ceasefire in 2015.
