Adana,Turkey, Nov 24 (IBNS) : At least two people were killed and 16 wounded after an explosion outside of a government building in Adana, in southeast Turkey on Thursday.

According to media reports, the  blast rocked the governor's office.

Turkish EU affairs minister Omer Celik described  the explosion on Twitter as a "vile attack".

In a series of tweets Celik said: "Damned terror continues to target our people. We will fight with this terror to the end in the name of humanity."

Daily Star quoted Governor Mahmut Demirtas as saying that it was a car bomb explosion.

He said: "It is suspected that a female suspect carried out the attack."

TV channels broadcast video footage of a vehicle in flames  in the car park outside the office and thick black smoke rising into the sky.

Several ambulances and police teams were seen rushing towards the area.
