PKK roadside bombing kills 2 Turkish policemen in Southeastern Van province
Two Turkish policemen were killed and one injured in an explosion of a roadside bomb planted by the Kurdistan Workers
The improvised explosive device was planted in the Hacibekir neighborhood and went off when the police vehicle was passing by, according to the website.

A large scale operation backed by aviation to detain those responsible of the attack is taking place at the moment.

Tensions between Ankara and the Kurds escalated in July 2015 as fighting between the PKK and the Turkish army resumed. Ankara has imposed several round-the-clock curfews in Kurdish-populated towns, preventing civilians from fleeing the regions where the military operations are underway.
