A bomb attack in Istanbul on Tuesday targeted a vehicle carrying riot police, Turkish state media reports said.Governor Vasip Sahin says at least 36 people were hurt in Tuesday's attack in Istanbul's Vezneciler district. The dead included seven police officers and four civilians, he said.
The blast occurred at a busy intersection near an Istanbul University building in the city's Beyazit district during the morning rush hour. The state-run Anadolu Agency said several ambulances were sent to the scene.
Nearby buildings and some vehicles were damaged, Anadolu reported.
There was no immediate responsibility claim.
The rebels of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, have been targeting police and military targets since July, when a fragile peace process collapsed. The Islamic State group has also been blamed for a series of deadly bombings in Turkey.
The PKK is fighting for autonomy for Turkey's Kurds in the southeast of the country. It has waged a decades-long insurgency against the Turkish state in a conflict that has claimed 40,000 lives. The group is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and its allies.
