Two workers of a power utility were killed in a roadside bomb blast by the PKK terror group in eastern Turkey, the country's Interior Ministry said on Saturday.
The victims were killed when a remote-controlled explosive planted along a road detonated near their vehicle in Bingöl province's Genç district.
The ministry said security forces have launched a large-scale operation in the area to hunt down the perpetrators.
It also extended condolences to the families of the victims.
In its more than 35-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK-listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and EU-has been responsible for the deaths of at least 40,000 people, including women, children, and infants.
