A police officer was killed and three others were injured in PKK's late Tuesday attack on a police vehicle in southeastern Mardin province's Dargeçit district.
Four police officers were seriously injured when PKK terrorists detonated a remote-controlled bomb just as an armored police vehicle was passing.
All four police officers were immediately taken to Midyat State hospital in Mardin. Unfortunately, one of the police officers could not be saved. The three other wounded officers are still being treated.
The funeral of Ercan Hırçın, the killed soldier, will be held tomorrow.
The most recent PKK attack to Dargeçit in Mardin took place on September 3, which killed four police officers who were on their way to respond to a fire at a school in the district.
September 8 [today] also saw a total of 14 police officers killed in Turkey's eastern Iğdır and Tunceli provinces in two separate PKK attacks.
Turkey has seen an escalation of violence amid tensions between the Turkish army and the PKK since July 20 which claimed the lives of 31 people and left 76 injured in Suruç.
