PKK rocket attack on cafe leaves 3 civilians wounded

PKK terrorists attacked a café by rocket launchers late Monday in southeastern Diyarbakır province, wounding three civilians who worked at the café.

According to local sources, the PKK terrorists planned to attack the police station in Bağlar district of Diyarbakır. The rockets launched by the terrorists hit the cafe near Bağlar police station and heavily wounded the personnel.

The cafe staff who were wounded have been transferred to the hospital after the terrorist attack, and an investigation was launched into the incident.

The Turkish government has intensified its counterterror operations following the recent attacks carried out by the PKK, which is recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S., the EU and Turkey.

Formed in 1978, the terrorist group has been fighting the Turkish government for an independent state until the early 2000's. The group then shifted its goal to autonomy in predominately Kurdish inhabited regions of Turkey.
