An explosion has hit an oil pipeline in south-east Turkey, killing two people and wounded one other, reports say, according to BBC News.<\/p>\n

Kurdish separatist group PKK is suspected to have detonated a mine next to the pipeline, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported.<\/p>\n

The victims were travelling in two vehicles which caught fire as they passed the blaze, reports said.<\/p>\n

The pipeline carries oil from Kirkuk in northern Iraq to the port of Ceyhan on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.<\/p>\n

Reports say the explosion happened in Sirnak province, which borders northern Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n

Oil flow was stopped while firefighters tackled the blaze, officials said.<\/p>\n

The Turkish NTV news channel reported that the explosive was remote-controlled, but this was not confirmed.<\/p>\n
