A roadside bombing by the PKK terrorist organization killed the wife and baby of a Turkish soldier in the southeastern province of Hakkari, the local governor’s office said Tuesday.
The bomb exploded when a car carrying the civilians passed through the Yuksekova district.
The mother died on the spot, while the 11-month-old child succumbed to his wounds at the Yuksekova Public Hospital.
An operation to nab the terrorists is under way in the region.
In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- has been responsible for the death of some 40,000 people.
