A record of the bomb attacks that occurred in Turkey since five civilians were killed at a rally held by the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democracy Party (HDP) just before the 7 June 2015 parliamentary election.
This is a rolling project: please let me know of any incidents missing or in need of updating through @JamesInTurkey or the comments section below.
Bomb attacks on this map are attributed by the Turkish government to organisations including PKK/TAK and Daesh/IS, but this does not necessarily mean the particular attack was claimed by the implicated organisation.
