Up to 10 people have been wounded in an explosion in southeastern Turkey's Diyarbakir, local television reported Tuesday.

ANKARA (Sputnik) — Police and ambulances have arrived in the Baglar region of the city where Kurdish separatists are known to be active, according to the DHA news service.

The blast struck in the vicinity of an anti-terrorism police building near a police armored vehicle repair building, according to the NTV broadcaster.

Unofficial accounts suggest a gas cylinder explosion during repairs may have caused the incident, although police is pursuing leads including terrorism. No official statement has been made yet.
