Car bombing kills 13 Turkish soldiers

Thirteen soldiers have been killed and 55 were wounded in a car bomb attack in Turkey.


They were on a bus transporting off-duty personnel in the Turkish city of Kayseri, the military said in a statement.

Civilians may have also been injured in the attack, it said.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) was responsible for the attack.

In a statement, Mr Erdogan said the "separatist terrorist organisation" was responsible for the attack, adding that such attacks were not independent of developments in Iraq and Syria.
