Security forces will locate and destroy explosive devices planted by the PKK terror group in villages in the Lice and Hani districts during the curfew, the office said a statement.

The statement did not provide a deadline for the curfew.

The PKK -- listed as a terror organization by Turkey, the U.S., and EU -- resumed its armed campaign in July 2015 and since then has been responsible for the deaths of around 1,100 security personnel and civilians, including women and children.
