ANKARA (AA) - Two Turkish soldiers were martyred in an attack by PKK terrorists in northern Iraq, according to the Turkish army on Saturday.

In a statement, the General Staff said one soldier was also wounded in the attack.

The military offered condolences to the families of the martyred soldiers and wished the injured soldier a speedy recovery.

The Turkish Armed Forces will "continue its fight against all terror organizations until the last terrorist is neutralized", the statement added.

The PKK -- listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the EU -- resumed its armed campaign against Turkey in July 2015.

Since then, it has been responsible for the deaths of more than 1,200 Turkish security personnel and civilians, including a number of women and children.
