Earlier in the day, an explosive-laden car blasted near a military bus, which was carrying soldiers. At least 13 soldiers were reportedly killed, while 55 were injured. Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that the terror attack was perpetrated by a suicide bomber.
"Please accept my deep condolences over the killings of the Turkish servicemen as a result of the terrorist attack in the city of Kayseri. I am sure that a more resolute fight against extremist groups should become a response to these criminal actions. Russia, on its part, is ready to further enhance cooperation with Turkey in fight against terrorism," the press service said.
