Three people were killed in Wednesday's car bomb attack in the town of Midyat in southeastern Turkey, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said.

A car bomb exploded near a police station in the Turkish province of Mardin on Wednesday. An explosion occurred in the town of Midyat located near the Syrian border, Sputnik News Agency reported on Wednesday.

"Today's terrorist attack in Midyat claimed the lives of one police officer and two civilians. Thirty people sustained injuries, five of them are in serious condition. A PKK killer is behind this, which is of no surprise to us. We will continue to fight terrorists until we eliminate terrorism in our country," Yildirim told reporters.

A day earlier a terrorist attack in Istanbul killed at least 11 people, including seven police officers.
