Authorities suspect Kurdistan Workers` Party (PKK) involvement in the attack, NTV said.
Tensions between Ankara and the Kurds escalated in July 2015 when a ceasefire between Turkey and the PKK collapsed because of a series of terror attacks allegedly committed by PKK members.
Ankara has imposed several round-the-clock curfews in Kurdish-populated towns, preventing civilians from fleeing the regions where the military operations are taking place.
In April, a member of the Turkish parliament from the Kurdish People`s Democratic Party told Sputnik that the town of Silopi was under a blockade with a curfew in place, while the authorities were trying to drive the Kurds from the town of Cizre.
