A woman ignited two bombs outside of the local police station killing two police officers and wounding 21 people in the town of Pinarbasi in the central Turkish province of Kayseri.

10 of the wounded are reportedly children. After the attack the electricity to the town of Pinarbasi was cut.

The incident reportedly took place around 10 a.m. when two men evaded a police checkpoint on the Kahramanmaraş-Kayseri highway and tried to enter the Pınarbaşı Police Department building complex. Police tried to prevent the men from entering and opened fire on both of the suspects, who were killed.

However, an explosive in their vehicle was detonated minutes after, killing a police officer and seriously wounding seven others. The wounded were reported to have sustained only minor injuries.
