Two soldiers of the Turkish security forces were wounded in an explosion near a gendarmerie station in eastern Turkey late Friday, private Dogan news agency reported on Saturday.
They were injured after militants of the outlawed Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) detonated a car bomb in front of the Balaban Gendarmerie Station in Van province bordering neighboring Iran, said the report.
The wounded were taken to hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, a group of PKK rebels attacked the building of the headquarters of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Diyarbakir province late Friday, injuring one police officer, according to the report.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed last Tuesday to continue military operations against the PKK until its disarmament.
"We will persevere in our struggle until they lay down and bury their arms, and until the last terrorist leaves the country," Erdogan said.
Tensions between Turkish security forces and the PKK are increasing after an Daesh suicide bombing on July 20 killed 32 people and injured 104 others in the town of Suruc in the Sanliurfa province bordering Syria.
The Turkish authorities have said that security forces had detained over 1,300 individuals with suspected ties to the IS, the PKK and leftist groups, while the military unleashed several rounds of air strikes on PKK posts in northern Iraq.
