According to preliminary reports, among the three martyred personnel, one was a Turkish soldier and two others were village guards.
Ambulances could be seen rushing towards the blast site, while armed forces increased security measures in the area.
The PKK – listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S., and EU – resumed its 30-year armed campaign against the Turkish state in July 2015.
Since then, more than 480 security personnel, including troops, police officers, and village guards, have been martyred, and over 4,900 PKK terrorists killed in operations across Turkey and northern Iraq.
