Istanbul - A soldier was killed Tuesday by an explosion in Turkey's restive southeast region, Turkish media has reported.
The explosion in the Hakkari region, reportedly caused by a bomb set off by remote control, injured three other soldiers. Another soldier was killed Monday by an explosion in the same area, near Turkey's border with Iraq and Iran.
Turkish security forces have been involved in the region in operations against members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), considered a terrorist group by the European Union and the United States.
