ISTANBUL, Feb 13 (Reuters) - An explosion hit an area near a Turkish police checkpoint in the southeastern town of Suruc, near the Syrian border, on Friday and some people were wounded, the private Dogan news agency reported.
It said ambulances were sent to the area, around 10 km (six miles) north of the Syrian town of Kobani, from which Kurdish fighters recently forced out Islamic State militants.
A security source told Reuters the cause of the blast was being investigated and that one police officer was slightly wounded.
