Five Turkish soldiers have been shot dead after gunmen opened fire on a military unit in northern Turkey, officials have said.
A further four soldiers were injured in the attack, which took place in the province of Tokat.
There was no immediate indication of who was behind the attack.
However, both Kurdish and leftist militants are reported to be active in the area.
Attacks on military bases in the north of the country are, however, rare.
There have been rising ethnic tensions over recent days ahead of a court case hearing aimed at closing the country’s largest pro-Kurdish political party.
On Sunday, one man died in clashes between police and protesters in the southeast of the country.
