At least two explosions and gunfire have rocked Istanbul's Ataturk airport, with reports of "multiple" people injured. A gun and bomb attack on Istanbul's Ataturk international airport has killed at least 10 people and injured others, with reports of at least one suicide bomber.

Taxis were ferrying wounded people from the airport, the witness added. Police opened fire to stop the suspects at an entry point, Reuters reports.
