Five dead after explosion in Ankara
A large explosion in the Turkish capital, Ankara, has left at least five people killed and 10 injured, the city's governor says.
Local media reported that the blast happened next to a passing military vehicle, in an area close to parliament and Turkey's military headquarters. Photos on social media showed large plumes of smoke rising from the area. A spokesman for the ruling AK party said the explosion was an "act of terrorism". Ankara's governor, Mehmet Kiliclar, reportedly said the explosion was caused by a car bomb, but the Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, said the cause was still under investigation, BBC reports.
