Turkey's state-run agency says four policemen have been injured in an explosion during a raid on a suspected Daesh militants' hideout as G-20 leaders began to meet for a summit.
The Anadolu Agency says police late on Saturday raided a fifth-floor apartment believed to be used by an Daesh cell in Gaziantep city, near the Syrian border. The agency said the explosion occurred as the policemen broke down the door without saying what caused it or if arrests were made.
The raid came hours after Turkish soldiers clashed with Daesh militants who fired at them near Gaziantep. Four militants were killed.
It was not clear if the two incidents were connected.
