One police officer was killed and 25 people wounded in a car bomb attack at a police headquarters in the town of Cizre in southeast Turkey on Friday, hospital sources said.
Cizre is in Sirnak, a province that borders both Syria and Iraq and has a largely Kurdish population.
Many people are killed or wounded after a large explosion hits a police headquarters in the Cizre district of Turkey’s troubled southeastern province of Sirnak on Friday, security sources say.
Sirnak borders both Syria and Iraq and has a largely Kurdish population. The blast comes in the wake of Turkey’s largest military incursion into Syria, which Ankara says is aimed at fighting Daesh and Kurdish militants.
The province has also witnessed some the heaviest clashes between the Turkish army and domestic militants of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) since the collapse of a peace process between the two sides last year.
