Rescuers are now searching through the wreckage of the building in Cinar district

A car bomb blast has hit a police headquarters in Turkey's south-eastern Diyarbakir province, reportedly killing a woman and a baby and injuring at least 22 people, local media say.

Rescuers are now searching through rubble at the scene in Cinar district.

Turkish officials blamed the attack on militants from Kurdistan Worker's Party (PKK), which is active in the predominantly Kurdish province.

No group has so far said it carried out the attack.

The bomb was detonated at the entrance of the police building, Turkish media say. The blast also damaged nearby residential buildings.

Diyarbakir province has witnessed violent clashes between PKK militants and the Turkish army in recent months.

In December, the city of Diyarbakir and a number of other areas in the south-east were put under curfew as part of a security crackdown.

A ceasefire between the army and the PKK collapsed in July and dozens have since been killed in the area.

They killed 1 baby, 3 civillian and 1 police with this attack.
This is the ''peaceful kurdish terror'' that gets support from all over the world.

RIP to the victims, attacks like these are bad for turkey's tourism industry.

 

[bozorgmehr]

May the victims rest in peace... stoking extremist ideas leads to a lot of unintended consequences and before you know it, the whole region is caught in an endless vicious cycle of reprisals..... Hopefully these bombings we've noticed in Turkey recently are isolated incidents... but that's not very likely

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

RIP to the dead.

Acts of terrorism against innocent civilians can NEVER be justified.

Those are the signals of PKK's desperation. They can't respond Turkish Army and Police forces and losing average 12-14 members for every day so attempting to do such desperate actions which cause civilian causalities.

Within last 40 day: PKK lost 530 terrorists
From July 2015 to December: Around 2300 PKK terrorists destroyed !

PKK heads are crying on live broadcasts and call for peace process...

Time for celebration !
