Three Dead, Six Injured In PKK Syrian Attack On Turkey

Three people lost their lives and another six were wounded in a terrorist attack launched from Syria across the Turkish border by the Syrian wing of the PKK terrorist group, the YPG, on Monday.

Interior Minister Süleyman Soylu said that the number of people that lost their lives rose to three – among them a child and a teacher.

Soylu said; “We would like to say to our nation that, after the operation that took place yesterday, in which the terrorist organization suffered great losses, a response will also be given to this attack in the strongest possible way and the necessary steps will be taken.

"The terrorist organization will not be given a chance to live inside and outside our border."

Initial reports indicate that there were a number of injured as the rockets hit three schools, two houses and a truck close to the Karkamış Border Gate.

Speaking similarly on the attack, the Defense Ministry said that the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) is continuing to respond to attacks.

The attack comes a day after at least eight security personnel, including seven police officers and one soldier, were injured on Sunday by a similar apparent terrorist rocket attack.
