A military base was targeted by mortar fire in southeast Turkey on Saturday, the general staff said in a statement Sunday. There were no casualties.
The statement said terrorists attacked the Daglica base close to the Iraqi border in Hakkari province at around 12.35 p.m. local time (1035GMT) on Saturday.
Troops on the base, home to the 7th Border Regiment Command, returned fire.
The separatist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) regularly launches mortar attacks on the base, rarely causing casualties or damage. The group, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and EU, is primarily based in the Qandil mountains in northern Iraq.
