First, village guard Müslüm Yaldız was killed, and a soldier wounded in clashes with PKK militants in the village of Nazar, Hurriyet Daily News reports. Then, a hand-made explosive went off on a road near the village of Gayda, when a military vehicle was passing by. Three soldiers were killed and six injured in that attack.
Early Thursday, a car bombing hit police headquarters in the eastern Turkish city of Elazig, the administrative center of Elazig Province.
At least three police officers were killed, according to local Governor Murat Zorluoglu.
The Turkish premier Binali Yildirim put the number of those injured at 217, after the governor's office earlier said 146 people were wounded.
A bomb-carrying car exploded in front of the police station building, creating a hole in it and severely damaging the facility, according to local media.
Another car bombing attack on a police station in the eastern province of Van, near the Iranian border, killed a police officer and two civilians late Wednesday.
At least 73 people, 53 of them civilians and another 20 police officers, were injured, an official told AP.
Comment: "A special operation, involving air support, was launched to capture the perpetrators of the deadly act. One suspect has reportedly been detained, but the operation continues."
Turkish authorities blamed the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) for both attacks.
Comment: As an integral part in NATO's original GLADIO network, and its "Plan B", which has been operational for the past 20 years, Turkey has been no stranger to false flags. The question is, what agenda do these latest bombings serve? Do they justify a further crackdown on the Kurds? Are they designed to further destabilize Turkey after the failed coup? Were they really carried out by the PKK? If so, have the Americans been increasing their support of certain Kurdish groups as a proxy force against Erdogan?
