Bomb attacks on the security forces have surged since a two-year ceasefire between the state and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) collapsed last July.
The PKK, considered a terrorist group by the United States and European Union, took up arms to fight for Kurdish autonomy three decades ago. The violence has been at its most intense in recent months since the peak of the conflict in the 1990s.
