An explosion in the Turkish capital of Ankara has killed at least 27 and injured 75 others.
Turkish news agency Anadolu reports that an explosion occurred in the Güvenpark in the Kızılay district in central Ankara around 6:35pm local time today.
No details have been released about the blast, with authorities saying that the focus is on the well-being of the victims.
A senior Turkish official has said: “It’s too early to talk about who carried out this attack. The investigation is ongoing.
“Our priority right now is the wounded.”
It is believed the explosion targeted a transportation hub where numerous bus stops and a metro station are located.
Just last week, the U.S. Embassy in Ankara warned of a possible terrorist plot to strike government buildings in the capital’s Bahcelievler neighborhood, which is just a short distance from where today’s explosion occurred, according to CNN.
