DEVELOPING: An explosion killed at least 27 people and wounded 75 others on Sunday, March 13th, 2016 in the Turkish capital of Ankara, according to the Associated Press, which cited the Ankara governor’s office.

The blast originated from an “explosive-laden vehicle,” according to the Ankara governor’s office, and Turkish broadcaster TRT reported a car exploded near a bus stop.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was convening an emergency security meeting, however, no one had claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Gunfire was heard after the explosion, officials told Reuters. Ambulances rushed to the area and smoke could be seen rising from about two miles away, a witness told Reuters. Several cars were seen on fire.
The blast occurred on the city’s main boulevard, Ataturk Bulvari, close to Ankara’s main square, Kizilay. It happened adjacent to bus stops near a park.
Police sealed off the area and pushed onlookers and journalists back, warning there could be a second bomb.
The blast occurred near Guven Park, which is connected to a major transport hub, according to Reuters.
The explosion comes less than a month after a bomb killed 29 in Ankara. Kurdish militants took responsibility for that blast.
The blast also occurred two days after the U.S. Embassy issued a security warning about a potential plot to attack Turkish government buildings and housing in one Ankara neighborhood and asked its citizens to avoid those areas
