At least 14 people were killed and more than 220 were wounded when two car bombs went off at police stations in eastern Turkey in the space of 24 hours, according to media reports.

In the latest incident Thursday, Turkish media reported that Kurdish rebels detonated a roadside bomb in the southeast of the country, killing three soldiers, and a village guard was also killed in clashes between government forces and rebels.

The semi-official Anadolu news agency reported that at least three police officers were killed and scores of people were injured in an attack in the eastern Turkish city of Elazig early Thursday.

A car bombing in Van province late Wednesday killed a police officer and two civilians and wounded at least 73 people, the Associated Press reported.

The Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was responsible for at least two of the bombings, Anadolu reported. The PKK is considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and the United States.

More than 600 security personnel and over 7,000 PKK fighters have been killed since the PKK restarted its 30-year campaign against the Turkish government in July 2015 after a fragile peace process collapsed, Anadolu reported.
