Three civilians killed in Turkey's southeast, HDP deputy claims three more killed in separate attack

Three civilians were killed during clashes between Turkish security personnel and outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) militants in the southeastern province of ??rnak?s Cizre district on Aug. 27, amid claims by a Peoples? Democratic Party (HDP) deputy saying three more people were killed and seven others were wounded in clashes in the Yüksekova district of Hakkari.

Eyüp Ergin, who was working in the Cizre State Hospital, was severely wounded when he was struck by bullets while he was on his way home during the clashes. He succumbed to his injuries at the hospital where he worked. 

Mesut Sanr?, 28, an employee at DEDA?, an electricity grid firm, was also injured while he was trying to fix a breakdown as the clashes erupted. Sanr? succumbed to his injuries at the hospital. 

The third civilian who died in Cizre was 7-year-old Baran Ça?l?, who was injured after a wall collapsed on him.

Even though Ça?l? was hospitalized after the incident, he also succumbed to his injuries. 

The clashes erupted after members of the PKK set up barricades against Turkish security forces on three streets in Cizre. The PKK members stopped cars these streets and took the drivers? keys so they could use their cars to block the roads.

Meanwhile, Turkish security forces have launched an operation in the curfew-decreed Yüksekova district of the southeastern province of Hakkari, with a HDP deputy saying three people were dead and seven others wounded in clashes between security personnel and outlawed PKK militants.

Clashes between security forces and militants from the outlawed organization lasted until the morning hours in Yüksekova on Aug. 27 in the operation, which came shortly after an indeterminate curfew took effect...
