(35 minutes later)
An explosion has rocked the car park of a chamber of commerce building in the tourist resort of Antalya in southern Turkey. Several people have been injured in an explosion which rocked the car park of a chamber of commerce building in the tourist resort of Antalya in southern Turkey.
Several ambulances have been sent to the area, broadcaster CNN Turk reported. The Dogan news agency broadcast footage showing at least five ambulances in front of the building, surrounded by dozens of people. 
The cause of the bast is unclear. It is unknown whether there are any casualties. An eyewitness who was at the building told CNN Turk the blast smashed windows and left people bloodied and a Dogan reporter said one vehicle was blown apart.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately known but NTV television and other reports said it may have been caused by a car bomb left in the car park.
Antalya Chamber of Trade and Industry head Davut Cetin told CNN Turk there were no fatalities in the explosion.
The explosion occured as employees were arriving at the building for work, hours before the trade chamber was scheduled to hold a meeting to be attended by the mayor.
Police sealed the trade center's perimeter in case of a second explosion.
Antalya is a major tourist resort on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. In August, two rockets hit a commercial facility near a resort town in the province, but caused no casualties.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for that attack, but Kurdish and far-left militants have staged similar attacks, mostly against the security forces, in the past.
Turkey has been hit by a series of deadly bombings this year, some of which have been blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and some on Isis militants.
In August a suicide bomber killed at least 50 people in an attack on a wedding party in the southeastern city of Gaziantep.
