Three wounded in PKK attack in Turkey's east
Three soldiers were wounded in an attack by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants in the eastern province of Van early on April 27.
The militants attacked an armored army vehicle on patrol with home-made explosives, after the rocket they launched missed the vehicle at around 5 a.m.
The vehicle was damaged as a result of the attack, while the wounded soldiers were taken to the Van Training and Research Hospital.
Reinforcements have been sent to the scene and an operation has been launched to catch the militants who staged the attack.Istanbul's Be?ikta? returns to nest at brand new Vodafone ArenaErdo?an hosts Islamic Summit leaders on presidential yachtLast section of ?zmit Bay Bridge put into place Halfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childTurkish police raid Koza ?pek's media HQ in Istanbul amid protestsTurkey celebrates Republic Day against backdrop of political turbulenceLocal authorities in Ad?yaman stir outcry for sitting under tent as schoolkids get wet US destroyer completes exercise with Turkish NavyNew images of the construction of Istanbul's third bridgeTurkey marks the 77th anniversary of Atatürk's death with commemorations across the countryAntalya braces to host the 10th annual G-20 SummitIn Photos: Yedigöller National Park lures visitors with colors of autumnIn Photos: Silvan under curfew for 11 daysParis attacks in photosIn Photos: Participants in the Istanbul Marathon join the...
