The attack comes one week after a twin bombing targeted police personnel in Istanbul.

The bus was full of soldiers going on their weekend leave, the soldiers in the bus are from the commando brigade."

Turkish authorities have so far detained seven people and are searching for another five in relation to the attack, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said.

Saturday's blast is likely to further anger the Turkish public, who are frustrated by a string of deadly bombings this year, several of which have been claimed by Kurdish fighters, including last week's Istanbul bombings which killed 44 and wounded more than 150, Guardian reported.
