Outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) terrorists reportedly launched 10 mortar rounds onto the Dağbaşı military base in Çukurca, patrolled by the third Gendarmerie Commando battalion. The base is near the Iraqi border. Firing back, the soldiers were able to repel the terrorist group. One soldier was wounded in the crossfire.
The wounded soldier was taken from the scene to the Fatih military outpost in Hakkari by helicopter and brought to a military hospital.
The attack came just one day after Tuesday's release of a group of 34 people comprising mainly refugees and outlawed PKK militants by Turkish authorities.
The group of 34 turning themselves over to Turkey is considered a symbolic move by the PKK initiated by the group's jailed leader, Abdullah Öcalan, who has urged the PKK to send what he calls “peace groups” to Turkey.
