A rocket was
fired near the police headquarters in Turkey's largest city of
Istanbul on Friday but missed the building and there were no reports
of casualties, broadcaster CNN Turk said.
Turkey has
been hit by a series of gun and bomb attacks in recent months, some
claimed by Kurdish PKK militants, others blamed on Islamic State. The
police headquarters is located in the Fatih district of Istanbul, on
the European side of the city.
A gunman
killed 39 people in an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Day in an
attack claimed by Islamic State. On Dec. 10, two bombs claimed by
Kurdish militants exploded outside a soccer stadium in the city,
killing 44 people.
