Seven police officers have been killed in a car bombing in the Turkish city of Diyarbakir.
A statement from the police and the local governor’s office said 27 people had also been wounded in the explosion near a bus terminal.
The bomb detonated as a special forces’ armoured bus passed through the mainly Kurdish city, according to state-run media.
It damaged cars and shattered almost all the windows of a nearby high-rise.
Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is scheduled to visit the southeastern city on Friday – where some neighbourhoods are under a curfew.
The city has suffered renewed violence since a ceasefire between the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the government collapsed last July.
