At least five people were killed and 39 others injured in a car bomb attack on a police station in Turkey's Diyarbakir province in the town of Cinar on Thursday.

According to The Guardian, a woman and a baby were believed to be among dead in the raid which has been blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party.

The bomb caused heavy damage to the outer walls of the police station, and the attackers then followed up with rockets and long-range gunfire.

Another police station was attacked with rocket launchers in Midyat town, in province of Mardin. No casualties were reported there.

No group has yet claimed either of the attacks.
