ANKARA, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- One person was killed and 30 others wounded early on Friday in an explosion outside a police facility in Turkey's southeastern Diyarbakir province, Dogan News Agency reported.

A car bomb used by Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) militants went off outside the Counter-terror and Riot Police Branch in Baglar district of Diyarbakir, the report said.

The blast was followed by clashes between police and PKK militants, it added.

Over 650 members of Turkish security forces and thousands of PKK members have been killed in confrontations inside Turkey and in northern Iraq since July 2015, while Turkish forces have killed over 7,000 PKK militants, local media figured.

More than 40,000 people have lost their lives in clashes with the PKK since 1984, when the group first started anti-government attacks.

The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Turkey.
