Strong blast hits Turkish city, casualties reported
A bomb goes off near a bus terminal in Turkey’s Kurdish-majority city of Diyarbakir in the southeast of the country, wounding at least seven people, hospital and security sources say.
Three of the injured in Diyarbakir are members of Turkish security forces, the sources add.
Turkey’s security forces are engaged in an operation against Kurdish rebels from the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in the region.
Security sources say the bomb exploded as an armored vehicle of the security forces passed by.
