Two explosions overnight in Turkey, killed 6 people and injured 180 others

Two bomb attacks were carried out in the vicinity of police stations in two towns in eastern Turkey.

This morning, a bomb attack was carried out near the central police station in Van, killing three people and injuring 40 others.

A few hours later, another explosion hit a police station in the town of Elazig, killing three people and injuring 120 others.

Authorities in both cities blame the Kurdistan Workers' Party for the attacks, although no one has claimed responsibility for them.

Deputy governor of the city of Van, Mehmet Perlak said the city told reporters that a "militant" who was parked in front of the police building is detained and is being questioned.

Van city so far has been peaceful although in 2015 canceled the agreement between Kurdish fighters and Turkish authorities.

Violence has been much more concentrated in the town near Diyarbakir when eight people were killed in a similar attack on August 15.

PKK has launched efforts to fight for independence in 1984 and from then until now, over 40 thousand people have died as a result of violence.
