An outlawed PKK separatist was killed and two others were injured as they staged an attack on the provincial security department in an eastern city of Turkey, the provincial governor said.

The police gave an immediate response to a terrorist attack carried out by three outlawed separatists, killing one outlawed PKK separatist and injuring two others in the clash, the Bingol Governor Irfan Balkanlioglu said.

No casualties were reported among police officers.

“They could not reach their bloody target. Terrorists are trying to hide their heavy losses in the northern part of Iraq by attacking innocent people,” the governor was quoted by the Anatolian Agency as saying.

Turkey, provided with intelligence by the U.S., has stepped up military action against PKK since December.

PKK is listed as a terrorist group by much of the international community including the U.S. and the EU. Turkey has been carrying out several air strikes and a week-long ground incursion into northern Iraq in February, where more than 2,000 PKK terrorists take refuge.
