At least eight police officers were killed in the explosion which hit a police checkpoint in the southeastern Turkish province of Sirnak earlier Friday.

    The attack also injured 45 people, including two in critical condition, hospital sources told Anadolu Agency (AA).

    Turkish Security sources said earlier that the attack had targeted the checkpoint some 50 meters away from a riot police unit headquarters in the Turkish Sirnak's town of Cizre.
