Turkey’s Interior Ministry says a terrorist attack has killed at least 27 people and wounded nearly 100 in the town of Suruc, near the Syrian border. The ministry said the number of dead could increase.
Suruc is near the Syrian city of Kobani, an area where Kurdish forces are fighting Islamic State militants.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the explosion resulted from a car bomb that targeted Kurdish forces. Kurdish officials said the explosion was part of a military operation to remove weapons left by Islamic State fighters.
