A powerful blast that shook an area near the Turkish city of Diyarbakir killed four “bombmakers” and injured at least ten other people, the Interior Ministry has said.
The blast happened in the area of Sarikamis on the outskirts of the majority Kurdish city “while PKK militants loaded explosives onto a stolen truck”, the ministry said, referring to the Kurdistan Workers Party.
“The explosives detonated prematurely. The injured were civilians, according to initial findings,” the ministry said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the car bomb.
