Not less than seven (7) police officers were reportedly killed and 27 people wounded in a car bomb attack that hit a police vehicle in Turkey’s Kurdish-dominated city of Diyarbakir, Turkish officials have said.
According to Aljazeera, the blast damaged several cars and shattered almost all the windows of a nearby building.
No one has yet claimed responsibility for the blast.
Meanwhile, the Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, who is currently in the US for a nuclear security summit has denounced the attack.
“This shows terrorism’s ugly face again. The determination of our security forces will, God willing, put an end” to it, Erdogan said this while delivering a speech at the Brookings Institute.
