According to the BBC, the explosion took place late on Saturday. Four soldiers were injured by the terrorist attack.
The attack followed the airstrikes of the Turkish government's on positions of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Iraq Friday and the PKK's declaration Saturday that the airstrikes effectively ended a ceasefire between the sides.
The PKK, a political group listed as a terrorist organization by Ankara, was founded at the end of the 1970's to fight for self-determination of Kurds, comprising some 25 percent of Turkey's population.
On Wednesday, the PKK claimed responsibility for the killing of two Turkish police officers in the southern city of Ceylanpinar, claiming the policemen had backed the Islamic State jihadist group (IS).
On Monday, a Turkish citizen, allegedly associated with IS, carried out a terrorist attack in the Turkish city of Suruc close to the Syrian border. The attack, which took place in front of a cultural center where a meeting of Turkish Kurds was held, killed 32 people and injured over 100 others.
