Istanbul police directorate was targeted by a rocket attack Friday evening.

According to Turkish media, the action on the police HQ on Vatan Street was carried out with a flamethrower weapon that hit the garden wall of the building. Reports suggest that the C Block building of the police HQ was also targeted. Police forces have launched an operation in the area.

Another action, again with a flamethrower weapon, targeted the Istanbul headquarters of the AKP.
