One policeman killed, two wounded in PKK attack in ??rnak

One police officer was killed while two others were wounded in an attack by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) late on April 16 amid ongoing operations in the Turkish southeastern province of ??rnak. 

PKK militants launched a rocket attack against an armored police vehicle passing through Vatan Street in central ??rnak and injured three police officers.

All three were transferred to the nearby ??rnak State Hospital, where police officer Hüseyin Danac?, 28, succumbed to his wounds. The other officers are reportedly in a good condition. 

A funeral ceremony was held for Danac? at the 23rd Gendarmerie Border Division Command on April 17. His body was later sent to his hometown of Kayseri in Central Anatolia. 

Anti-terror operations have been ongoing in ??rnak since March 14 and an additional operation has been launched to apprehend the April 16 attackers.First migrants arrive on Turkey's western coast under EU dealIstanbul's Be?ikta? returns to nest at brand new Vodafone ArenaErdo?an hosts Islamic Summit leaders on presidential yachtHalfeti - A town of mesmerizing beautyExhibition shows Istanbul through eyes of children Secret weapons of Turkish army: locally produced rocket launchers, missile systemsThe bugs of Ankara: The weirdest scenes that anyone can run into in Turkish capitalA bird's eye view tour of Turkey's eastern provinces of Van and HakkariTurkish man with four wives has his 32nd childTurkish police raid Koza ?pek's media HQ in Istanbul amid protestsTurkey celebrates Republic Day against backdrop of political turbulenceLocal authorities in Ad?yaman stir outcry for sitting under tent as schoolkids get wet US destroyer completes exercise with Turkish NavyNew images of the construction of Istanbul's third bridgeTurkey...
