The raid killed six village guard militia that was supporting the Turkish army in the area. Seven soldiers were injured, one of whom, Sergeant Emre Dut, later died of his wounds. The PKK had no casualties. After the attack, Turkish forces launched an operation, killing three PKK militants they claimed were responsible for the raid.
