One police officer was wounded late on Aug. 15 in an outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) bomb attack targeting the Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) provincial headquarters in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır.

PKK militants staged an attack on the AKP provincial headquarters in Diyarbakır with a cluster bomb at around 9 p.m. One police officer on duty was wounded and immediately taken to hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, security forces found an unexploded second bomb during the subsequent investigation. Bomb disposal experts were called to the area and defused the bomb.

A broad-scale operation has been started to apprehend the militants responsible for the attack.
