One Turkish soldier was killed and eight others were injured in a landmine explosion in a southeastern province of Turkey, Dogan News Agency reported.

One Turkish soldier was killed and eight others were injured in the explosion of a landmine planted by outlawed PKK separatists in the Cizre district of Sirnak province, the agency reported. 

The landmine went off while a military vehicle was passing by on the Sirnak-Cizre road, governor’s office said.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as the most of the international community, including the U.S. and the EU, frequently uses remote-control landmines to target Turkey’s security forces.
