At least 10 police officers were killed and several others wounded in a bomb attack on a Turkish police minibus in the country’s east.
Turkish officials blamed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for Tuesday’s attack.
The bus was carrying police working in the Igdir region, at the Dilucu border gate marking the border with Azerbaijan.
The attack occurred two days after at least 15 Turkish troops were killed in an attack on a convoy of armoured vehicles in the southeastern province of Hakkari.
Turkey’s security forces launched an operation against Kurdish fighters after the attack, the Anatolia state news agency reported.
The eastern region has witnessed a series of attacks on security targets over the past weeks.
