Two Turkish soldiers have been killed and 31 people have been injured in a suicide attack carried out in a tractor filled with two tonnes of explosives by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
The tractor was driven at a military outpost in the Dogubeyazit district of eastern Agri province, bordering Iran, before it was detonated in the early hours of Sunday, the provincial governor’s office and the army said.
Survivors of the attack – which came amid heightened tensions after Turkey bombed Kurdish militants in northern Iraq – revealed the PKK militants also used rifles.
