A passing civilian truck driver was killed yesterday when the car bomb went off in Omerli in the southeastern Mardin province outside a building of the Turkish gendarmerie, a branch of the army which looks after domestic security, the Mardin governor's office said in a statement.
It said that five civilians were wounded, one seriously, and 11 soldiers and family members staying in lodgings nearby lightly injured by broken glass.
The Mardin governor's office statement emphasised that after the latest attack the military campaign against the PKK would continue "with determination".
The PKK had earlier this month claimed a bombing outside police headquarters in Midyat, also in Mardin province, that killed six people, including a pregnant policewoman.
