Blast in south-east Turkey 'hits military convoy' Ankara blast: Turkey PM says Syria Kurds to blame
(35 minutes later)
A Turkish military convoy has been hit by an explosion in south-eastern Turkey, local media reports. Turkey's prime minister says the deadly bombing in Ankara was carried out by Kurdish YPG militia based in Syria, and nine people have been arrested.
The blast happened on a highway between the towns of Diyarbakır and Bingol with casualties reported. Ahmet Davutoglu said the fighters worked in co-operation with militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in Turkey.
While details of the latest explosion are few, it comes within hours of a car bomb attack on a military convoy in the capital Ankara which killed at least 28 people and wounded more than 60. Turkey carried out strikes on PKK forces in north Iraq late on Wednesday.
No group has so far said it was behind the attack in Ankara. Meanwhile, a military convoy in south-east in Turkey has been hit by a bomb, killing at least six troops.
The blast happened on a highway between the towns of Diyarbakir and Bingol.
Turkey v Islamic State v the Kurds: What's going on?
Mr Davutoglu said 26 of the 28 people killed in the bombing of a military convoy in the capital Ankara on Wednesday were soldiers.
He named the Ankara bomber as Salih Necar, a Syrian national and member of the Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG).
"A direct link between the attack and the YPG has been established," he said. He went on to say the attack was carried out with logistical support from PKK militants inside Turkey.
Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist group, but its allies, including the United States, back the YPG, in its fight against so-called Islamic State (IS).
Mr Davutolgu said the bombing in Ankara proved the YPG is a terrorist group, and said he expects co-operation from Turkey's allies in tackling them.
