The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party continues its attack on the Turkish security forces, on Tuesday in the eastern Turkish province of Iğdır.



The police officer who was injured during the fighting, reportedly lost his life in the hospital.



An injured terrorist was also captured.



Meanwhile, in the eastern Turkish province of Şırnak, other PKK terrorists opened fire on a vehicle carrying soldiers. During the attack, at least two soldiers were injured.



The PKK, which is considered a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, including the United States and the European Union, has been involved in a separatist struggle with Turkey since the early 1980s.



Turkey blames the group for the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
