Iran issued an advisory warning its citizens Saturday to avoid land travel to neighbouring Turkey after an Iranian bus was attacked by gunmen. No one claimed responsibility for the attack but Turkish authorities blamed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants. "Based on recent movements and insecurity in Turkey's east, the foreign ministry advises our citizens travelling to Turkey to avoid land routes until further notice and to use air routes," a foreign ministry travel advisory read.
The Iranian bus was hit on Friday morning in Dogubayazit district of the eastern Agri province. The driver was fatally shot in the head. The passengers were unhurt, Hossein Ghassemi, Iran's consul in Erzerum, Turkey told Iranian state television Saturday.
