One Turkish police officer was killed late on Monday and another was injured after a bomb exploded near a residence that houses police in the Mezitli district of Mersin province, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu confirmed.

According to the Turkish minister, the two females that carried out the attack first shot at the police officer and later detonated bombs that were attached to them.

During a visit to the scene, Soylu accused the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) of committing the attack which occurred around 10:40 pm, adding that four civilians were injured as a result and that the two attackers were killed during the explosions.

#Turkey 🇹🇷: An armed attack was carried out on Tece Police House in #Mezitli, #Mersin. Perperators appear to be female militants as well.

Militants used a pistol (for close-shooting) and likely two AKSU rifles (AK carbines with folding stocks), an RPK mag(?) and a foregrip. pic.twitter.com/xwls7hgqQ8
