At least 14 soldiers were martyred and 56 others were wounded in a terrorist attack in central Turkey's Kayseri province on Saturday, according to Turkish authorities.



The Turkish General Staff said in a statement earlier the attack martyred 13 soldiers when a car bomb targeted a public bus carrying off-duty troops near the Erciyes University campus at 8:45 a.m.



Bombs exploded in a terrorist attack that occurred in Istanbul last Saturday night, Dec. 10, killing at least 44 people and wounding more than 150.



Two bombs exploded; one suicide bomber self-detonated in the Maçka Park, and a car bomb was blown up on a nearby street.



Both blasts took place at an interval of 45 seconds.
