ANKARA/KARKAMIS, TURKEY: 11 casualties and dozens got injured due to a car bomb blast on August 26,Friday.
The bombing, the latest in a series of attacks in the south-east, comes as Turkey tries to recover from a failed July 15 military coup.
The bomb attack caused immense damage to the headquarters of the special anti-riot police force in Cizre.
There was no immediate information leaked about how many died and what’s the number of the injured but television quoted the health ministry as saying 12 ambulances and two helicopters had been sent to the scene.
The pictures clearly shows the power of the blast leaving the building into ruins and in an unusable condition.
The state-run Anadolu news agency said the bomb had gone off 50 meters away from the building at a control post. It is said that the blast has been carried out by the PKK.
The Turkish security forces have been hit by near daily attacks by the PKK since a two-and-a-half year ceasefire collapsed in 2015, leaving hundreds of police and soldiers dead.
The latest attack comes two days after Turkey launched an incursion against Islamic State and Kurdish militia fighters in Syria.
PKK is being accused of the series of attacks in the south east this month. PKK took the responsibility for at least one attack on the police station.
