Dashboard camera footage released on Saturday shows the moment an explosive device allegedly placed by terrorists of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) blew up in Nusaybin district of southeastern Mardin province. Nine policemen and a civilian were wounded in the explosion. Also, several buildings, homes, workshops and vehicles located around the explosion site were damaged, as fragments from the blast broke windows and hit buildings and vehicles. Turkey has been fighting against terrorism aiming at rescuing the towns from the PKK, which is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, NATO, the US, and EU. More than 200 personnel belonging to security forces have been martyred and over 3,100 PKK terrorists were killed in 2015 alone.
