PKK Supporters Attacks Dormitories in Southeast Turkey
A group of supporters of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) targeted two student dormitories in southeastern Diyarbakir province on Sunday, throwing Molotov cocktails at the buildings.
The attacks have come as part of the terrorist group’s campaign to escalate tension in the country ahead of the June 12 parliamentary elections. Luckily, no student was injured in the attacks. The attacks are reminiscent of an earlier Molotov cocktail attack on a student dormitory in Sirna last week, which seriously injured three students.
On Sunday, PKK supporters first attacked a dormitory, predominantly home to students of an imam-hatip high school, in the Yenisehir district. The attackers shattered the windows of the building and broke its door. They later tried to enter the dormitory to damage its furniture, but guards did not allow them inside.
Some of the attackers placed the flags of the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), the urban arm of the terrorist PKK, in several locations in the dormitory. They later hurled Molotov cocktails inside the building.
