A violent explosion that rocked the de-facto Kurdish capital of Diyarbakir in southeastern Turkey killed four suspected bomb makers and wounded a large number of local residents, officials confirmed Thursday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Interior Ministry said Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militants were loading explosives onto a truck when the blast took place.

The blast follows a car explosion near a military site in Istanbul’s Sancaktepe district that wounded at least five people.  That blast reportedly targeted police.

The latest explosion took place at about 10:30 PM local time (19:30 GMT).
