Two bomb blasts killed at least seven people and injured dozens more in southern Turkey Wednesday, a senior official said.

One of the explosions targeted a police bus outside Mardin State Hospital in the town of Kiziltepe, on the Turkish border with Syria.

The blast killed three people and wounded at least 30 people -- including five children.

At the same time, a separate car bomb on a bridge in the nearby city of Diyarbakir also killed four people and injured at least 13, added the official, who was not identified per government protocol.

Initial assessments indicate Kurdish militants were behind both attacks, the official said.
