Turkey: Injuries in Adana as simultaneous explosions hit different HDC HQs

At least six people were injured and hospitalised in Adana after two simultaneous explosions hit different pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) headquarters in Adana and Mersin, Monday morning. Reports indicate that the explosions in Adana and Mersin occurred within ten minutes of each other. The footage shows the immediate aftermath of the explosion that hit the cargo room of the HDP's local branch in the town of Seyhan, Adana, at 10:00 local time (07:00 GMT). Co-Chairman of HDP Selahattin Demirtas was scheduled to hold a rally in a stadium in Mersin today ahead of the general election in June 7, where the HDP is aiming to pass a 10 percent election threshold to enter parliament. It is uncertain as to whether the rally will now go ahead. HDP bureaus across the country have been subject to more than 56 attacks, two of them armed, throughout the election campaign.
