One civilian was killed, another two were injured on Sunday when PKK terrorists opened fire on a group of civilians in Turkey's Southeastern Şırnak Province's Silopi district.

According to sources, three civilians living in Silopi's Barbaros neighborhood were shot by the militants while trying to escape their home due to ongoing clashes between the terrorists and security forces in the area.

Yusuf Yağıcı was pronounced dead at the scene while the other two people were taken to Şırnak State Hospital.

Turkish officials raised concerns over civilian killings by PKK in eastern and southeastern Turkey, saying the militants choose civilian buildings as shields while engaging in clashes with security forces, putting the life of civilians in danger.
