The rockets were fired at a police checkpoint outside the VIP lounge at the airport. Windows were damaged, and passengers and staff were taken inside the terminal building for safety.
According to Diyarbakir governor Huseyin Aksoy, there were neither casualties nor disruption to flights, broadcaster NTV said.
