Kurdish militants launched a truck bomb attack on a police station in southeast Turkey overnight, killing six people and wounding 39 in one of the biggest strikes since conflict flared in the region last July, security officials said on Thursday.

Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu strongly condemned the attack and vowed Turkey would continue its fight against "every kind of terror".

The attack, which local authorities blamed on Kurdish militants, came days after a suspected Islamic State suicide bomber killed 10 German tourists in Istanbul.
