Ankara explosion: Blasts hits rally in Turkish capital | |
(35 minutes later) | |
Two explosions have hit a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara, causing multiple casualties, reports say. | |
Turkish news agency Dogan said that at least 20 people have been killed. Photos posted on social media show a number of bodies at the scene. | |
The blasts took place near the city's central train station. | |
The target appears to have been a march calling for an end to the violence with the Kurdish separatist group, the PKK. | |
The pro-Kurdish HDP party was among those calling for Saturday's rally for "peace and democracy", which was due to start at 12:00 local time. | |
An HDP rally in the city of Diyarbakir was bombed in June, ahead of general elections. | |
Turkey is holding another election next month. | |
