A video emerged on Tuesday that appears to show a roadside bomb hitting a convoy of Turkish army vehicles.
The video was posted to Facebook by Qandil Post, who said it showed a bomb being detonated by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).
Hostilities have recently resumed between Turkey and the PKK, with the former launching air strikes against the Kurdish group, who in turn have carried out numerous attacks on soldiers and police.
