Six police officers were wounded on June 14 in an outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) attack in the Gevaş district of the eastern province of Van.

PKK militants detonated a hand-made explosive placed on a motorway with a remote control set during the passing of an armored police vehicle at around 5 p.m.

Six police officers were wounded in the attack, with two of them reported to be in a critical condition.

A wide-scale operation has begun in the region to apprehend the PKK militants responsible for the attack.
