A police officer was killed and two others injured in a rocket attack by suspected PKK militants in southeastern Turkey early Sunday, a police source said.
The attack at around 6.00 a.m. local time in Nusaybin, a town on the Syrian border in Mardin province, targeted an armored vehicle in the Dicle neighborhood, the source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
The victims were taken to Nusaybin State Hospital, where one later died from his wounds.
Security forces launched a search for the attackers.
Southeast Turkey has been the scene of significant military operations since December against PKK militants in the mostly Kurdish cities.
The decades-old conflict between the Turkish state and the PKK was reignited after a ceasefire fell apart in July.
