It’s not yet clear who carried out the strike, but it comes as Turkey faces a sudden spike in terror attacks. Last month, a suicide bombing in a historic Istanbul neighborhood killed 12 foreigners. Turkish authorities blamed the Islamic State and said the bomber was a Syrian who had entered the country as a refugee. Last October, meanwhile, a double-bombing at a peace rally in Ankara killed at least 102 people and injured more than 400 others. The Turkish government also blamed the Islamic State for that attack.
Footage is still emerging from the scene of the attack, which Turkish authorities have not yet linked to either ISIS or Kurdish militants. Foreign Policy has compiled some of it below:
