A car bomb in Turkey's eastern city of Van has left at least 19 people injured, according to Turkish media reports.
The "large explosion" is understood to have targeted the party's provincial offices in the city, an MP for Turkey's ruling AK party told CNN Turk.
The broadcaster said two police officers are among those injured and that no one is believed to have been killed.
Footage of smoke rising from a building and people running from the scene is being broadcast on local television.
Ambulances have taken the wounded to nearby hospitals and police and firetrucks have been dispatched to the area.
The explosion struck a central district in Van, which lies in Turkey's mainly Kurdish southeast.
Turkish security forces have blamed the militant Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the attack.
The region has suffered numerous bombings and attacks since the PKK abandoned a ceasefire in 2015, resulting in dozens of casualties.
