Kurdish youths studying in the northern province of Karabük, who have long been subject to attacks and threats by nationalist groups, were targeted by yet another attack.

Following last week's armed attack against the house of a group of Kurdish students, two more Kurdish youths were targeted by an armed attack last night.

According to the reports, unidentified assailants opened fire on two Kurdish students from a car as they left their house and went to the bakery in 5 Bin Evler neighborhood at around 22:30 local time.

The assailants swiftly fled the scene after the attack which youths luckily survived by hitting the dirt. The two students went to the police headquarters and filed a complaint, upon which police have reportedly launched an investigation into the incident.

Students demanded the ascertainment and punishment of the assailants, remarking that the attack must have been recorded by the security cameras around the scene.
