79 Turkish soldiers were killed in an attack on a military convoy in the Turkish province of Agri, the People’s Defence Forces (HPG), a military wing of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) claimed.

Pro-Turkish soruces denounce the HPG claims as fake. The Turkish government has not commented on the situation yet. At the same time, it should be noted that videos provided by PKK supporters do not confirm the HPG-claimed number of casualties.
