Two women bombers blew themselves up at a mosque in Turkey's Black Sea city Ordu on Friday, leaving one bomber dead and the other injured, media reports said.
A third person was also injured in the blast in the toilets of a Koran teaching facility, next to the mosque in Ordu, CNN Turk said. Television images showed a building that appeared to have been gutted. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Police in Ordu were not immediately available for comment.
Separately, a bomb exploded in the road in Diyarbakir in Turkey's south-east, injuring three including two children. Two of the injured were travelling in a car belonging to local authorities, security officials told Reuters. Security officials said the bomb was timed to attack army personnel.
Turkey has been struck by a series of bombings in recent days and violent protests in Turkey's south-east, leaving scores dead.
The suicide bombings came after a bomb ripped through offices of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) on the outskirts of Istanbul on Wednesday, injuring two people. Last week another bomb attack in Turkey's largest city Istanbul, which killed one person, was blamed on Kurdish militants. The Kurdistan Liberation Hawks (TAK), which has ties to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) claimed responsibility for the Istanbul blasts.
