At least three people have been killed and more than 50 wounded in a car bomb attack on a police station Turkish.

Footage showed a plume of smoke rising from the city of Elazig in eastern Turkey.

Turkey's Dogan news agency said the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group was behind the attack.

Three people were also killed in an attack near the Iranian border on Wednesday.

The mainly Kurdish southeast has been embroiled in violence since a ceasefire between the state and the PKK collapsed in July last year.

The PKK is designated a terrorist group by Turkey, the United States and European Union.
