A bomb-laden vehicle blew up on Monday in eastern Turkey, leaving at least five people wounded, security sources said.
The car bomb exploded in front of the courthouse in the town of Ovacik, around 800 kilometres (500 miles) east of Ankara, according to the sources, who declined to be named.
It was not immediately clear who carried out the attack.
Turkey is on edge after months of deadly attacks blamed not only on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) but also Daesh.
A splinter group of the PKK, the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (TAK), claimed a car bombing last week in Istanbul which killed 11 people including several police officers.
And the PKK claimed another deadly bombing last week in the Midyat town in the Kurdish-majority southeast, which killed six people, including a pregnant policewoman.
