The Netherlands-based pro-Kurdish Firat News Agency said a group called the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons, or TAK, claimed responsibility.
The group is affiliated with the banned Kurdistan Workers Party, whose leader is being held in solitary confinement, the BBC said.
The party has been fighting the Turkish authorities since 1984 in a drive for self-rule in the country's mainly Kurdish southeast.
