A roadside mine was detonated by suspected Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants when a police service bus with officers on board was passing, officials said.
The outlawed PKK – considered a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the United States and the European Union — took up arms in 1984 with the aim of carving out a Kurdish state.
