While no one has claimed responsibility for the attack, two senior security officials told Reuters that the initial findings suggested that members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) or an affiliated group were responsible.

Police identified one of the attackers, a woman, as having been born in 1992 and being from the eastern Turkish city of Kars.
