An explosion in northwest Turkey on Wednesday killed a jail guard and injured numerous others, in an incident branded a “terrorist assault” by using authorities.

A remote-controlled homemade explosive detonated in Bursa province as a commute sporting approximately 30 humans, by and large, prison guards, was passing through, consistent with the Anadolu information company.

“Unfortunately, one in all our guards changed into martyred”, stated nearby governor Yakup Canbolat, confirming the loss of life.

Four other prison guards were wounded, including one seriously, he said, calling it a “terror attack”.

Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu — who was due to travel to the scene with the justice minister — said an investigation had been launched to find the perpetrators.

In 2016, Turkey saw several terror attacks claimed by the Islamic State and the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The Turkish army has released an air and ground offensive against outlawed Kurdish militants in northern Iraq related to special forces and fight drones.

Designated as a terrorist organization by using Ankara and its Western allies, the PKK has been waging an insurgency in opposition to the Turkish nation given that 1984 has claimed tens of heaps of lives.
