Mine explosion kills one man in south eastern Turkey
2006-08-19
(KUNA) -- A Turkish man was killed Thursday when a mine exploded in the Kurdish-populated south eastern province of Sirnak. Turkish Anadolu News Agency (AA) cited a security source as saying the explosion happened when a man stepped on a mine planted by the Kurdistan Workers Union (PKK). The man died affected by wounds, the source said. Several PKK members and Turkish security personnel were killed in clashes and mines explosions since the Turkish government recently announced launching an expansive military campaign against the separatist movement.
