Turkey blames the PKK for an attack that left seven casualties

On 13 September, seven civilians died and ten got injured in an explosion in Kulp, a district of the Kurdish province of Diyarbakir, in south-east Turkey. The governor’s office in the region blamed the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for the attack, a fact that was not confirmed by the group. This attack comes after the suspension of three Kurdish mayors last month by the Interior Ministry under accusations of collaboration with terrorism.
