Seven police officers have been killed and 27 people have been injured, including 13 police officers, in a car bomb attack targeting a police shuttle in the southeastern province of Diyarbakır. The attack took place near the city's bus terminal on March 31.


The outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) was behind the attack, which targeted a police shuttle, according to initial reports.

A number of ambulances were deployed to the scene while the wounded police officers were transferred to Diyarbakır Military Hospital.
