An improvised explosive planted on a road by PKK terrorists in Sirnak’s Silopi district detonated, said the security source who asked not to be named due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
The injured security guards were taken to Silopi State Hospital, the source added.
An operation was launched in the area to apprehend the terrorists.
