PKK bomb attack hits public offices, hospital in Turkey's southeast

Militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers? Party (PKK) detonated a bomb-laden vehicle in the ?emdinli district of the southeastern province of Hakkari late on Oct. 21, damaging a number of state buildings including a hospital.

PKK militants detonated the bomb-laden car in the Sermet Street of ?emdinli, which houses the district governorate, district police department and district state hospital buildings. A number of houses, workplaces and vehicles were also damaged in the explosion. 

As a result of the attack, the three-story district state hospital building - which includes newborn and hemodialysis units as well as operating theaters - was substantially damaged.
