Six people have been killed, and 219 people were injured in two car bombings targeting police stations in eastern Turkey.

Early Thursday, a car bombing hit police headquarters in the eastern Turkish city of Elazig, the administrative center of Elazig Province.

At least three police officers were killed, according to local Governor Murat Zorluoglu.

Conflicting number regarding those injured have been emerging, with media putting the figure at 100 to 160, while the governor said it was 146 people.

Fourteen of those injured are in a critical condition, he added.

A bomb-carrying car exploded in front of the police station building, creating a hole in it and severely damaging the facility, according to local media.

Another car bombing attack on a police station in the eastern province of Van, near the Iranian border, killed a police officer and two civilians late Wednesday.

At least 73 people, 53 of them civilians and another 20 police officers, were injured, an official told AP.

Turkish authorities blamed the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for both attacks.
