A Turkish soldier on Saturday succumbed to his wounds from a PKK terror attack in eastern Turkey, the military said.

In a statement, the Turkish General Staff said the soldier was wounded in a counter-terror operation in Ağrı province on Tuesday.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey as well as the U.S. and EU.

The PKK's over three-decade terror campaign against Turkey has killed some 40,000 people, including women and children.
