Three Turkish soldiers were killed late on March 24 in an outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) car bomb attack in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır, the Turkish General Staff has announced.

PKK militants attacked the Mermer Gendarmerie Post on the Diyarbakır Lice motorway at around 9:10 p.m. by detonating a bomb-laden car, killing three soldiers and wounding another 24, the General Staff said in a statement.

The wounded soldiers were immediately taken to hospital where their treatment is continuing, the statement added.
