"One of our servicemen was killed as a military base, located in the regional center of Cukurca in our province, was attacked by two rockets launched from the territory of northern Iraq on October 9. Four more people were maimed, including one civilian who is at death's door. The investigation is underway," the statement read.

Earlier in October, the Ottoman Turkish parliament approved the extension of a mandate authorizing the deployment of Ottoman Turkish troops in Iraq and Syria for one more year.
