| Turkey explosion: Reports of wounded in central Ankara | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| A huge explosion has taken place in the Kizilay neighbourhood of the Turkish capital Ankara, with reports of injuries. | |
| Turkish broadcaster NTV said the blast was caused by a car bomb, but this has not been confirmed. | |
| Witnesses say the explosion happened near the main bus station on Ataturk boulevard and close to many government ministries. Some vehicles were on fire. | |
| Last month, a bomb attack on a military convoy in Ankara killed 28 people. | |
| The Turkish Hurriyet newspaper said the latest blast happened at about 18:35 (16:35 GMT) in the Guven park in Kizilay, and that many ambulances were at the scene. | |
| It said that the area was being evacuated in case there was a second attack. | |
| Last month's attack was claimed by a Kurdish militant group, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK). It said on its website that the bombing was in retaliation for the policies of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. | |
| Turkey, however, blamed a Syrian national who was a member of another Kurdish group. | |
