Several blasts rocked Reyhanli town in the southern province of Hatay on Saturday, with Interior Minister Muammar Guler telling Turkish media that they were caused by car bombs.
The minister said two vehicles packed with explosives detonated near the town’s post office and municipality.
“We are going to launch an inquiry into all this, so that everything becomes clear,” Guler added.
Earlier reports said four blasts shook the town, which is located only a few kilometers from the Syria border.
Officials have noted that the number of casualties could rise.
In February, thirteen people were killed and dozens injured after a minibus exploded at a crossing on Turkey’s border with Syria near Reyhanli.
The Cilvegozu border post is one of the main crossing points for Syrian refugees into the neighboring country, according to Turkish officials.
