Turkish authorities said that a group of Kurdish Terrorists attacked Sarıyayla Gendarmerie Outpost in Nazımiye district of Mardin province on Saturday.
The midnight ambush claimed the lives of 4 soldiers and left 7 others wounded, 2 being in serious condition. Heavily wounded soldiers were rushed to Elazığ Military Hospital by a chopper. Reportedly, other wounded are under treatment in Tunceli State Hospital.
Helicopters could not arrive at the scene for midnight operation due to unfavorable weather conditions, but a large number of soldiers aboard trucks were sent from Nazımiye to reinforce the outpost.
Reportedly, stranded troops retaliated with gun fires and many terrorists were killed.
Security forces have launched a massive operation in the region and specially trained commandos fast-roped from sikorsky helicopters to comb the terrain.
