Diyarbakir, Turkey: A car bomb struck an armoured police vehicle today in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir, located in the mainly Kurdish southeast, wounding 13 people, security officials said.
A Reuters witness heard a large explosion in the city centre, followed by the wail of ambulance sirens after the attack. Parts of Diyarbakir have seen intense security operations since a three-decade conflict between the state and Kurdish militants reignited in July 2015.
