ISTANBUL – A deadly car bomb attack hit the central Anatolian province of Kayseri on Saturday morning, Turkish media said. There were preliminary reports of fatalities amid a media blackout. State-run Anadolu Agency said the car bomb went off at an entrance gate of Erciyes University, hitting a public transportation bus that included on-leave soldiers among its passengers. The report said the explosion had caused casualties but did not give a toll. Police and ambulances rushed to the site of the blast. Kayseri Governor Suleyman Kamci said the "car bomb exploded beside a bus" and had caused fatalities. "Unfortunately we have martyrs and wounded," he said in remarks carried by the private Dogan news agency. NTV channel, quoting the Turkish armed forces, said 13 people had been killed and 48 others were wounded in the attack. Speaking about the Kayseri explosion, Vice Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak said in remarks broadcast on NTV that "treacherous factions" had taken aim at commandos from the Kayseri Airforce Brigade, who had been "training exclusively for the safety of our people."
