MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Ankara declared 11 police officers dead after the terror attack on Friday while 78 people were said to be injured.

"Fighter Mustafa Aslan carried out attack using large amount of explosive… 60 armed vehicles were damaged… 118 Turkish police officers died, 152 more sustained injuries," PKK said, adding that the truck targeted the town district where police and army headquarters were located.

Deadly clashes between the PKK and the Turkish armed forces occur regularly in the southeastern Sirnak province, the site of a number of terrorist attacks since the July 2015 breakdown of the ceasefire.
