A policeman was killed late Monday night when a bomb exploded near a police facility in Turkey's southern Mersin province and another was wounded, Turkish Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu said.
The minister blamed the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) for the action.
The attack was committed at around 22:40 (21:40 GMT) by two armed women. They shot at the target and then detonated bombs with which he had painted himself, always according to Mr. Soylou.
The action targeted a facility in the Mezitli region of Mersin, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency.
The PKK, a Kurdish separatist faction that took up arms against the Turkish state in 1984, is designated a «terrorist» organisation by Ankara, the US and the EU. Over 40,000 people, mostly minorities, have been killed in the war since then, mostly in south-eastern Turkey.
