Blast was reported in Ankara near parliament building, according to Turkish media reports.

Turkey’s interior minister says a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in front of the ministry building in the Turkish capital, wounding two police officers.

Ali Yerlikaya said two attackers were responsible for the explosions in front of the ministry building. One of them blew himself and other was “neutralised”, the minister said.

Al Jazeera’s Sinem Koseoglu, reporting from Istanbul, said the explosion happened around 9:30am.

“The security measures have been tightened around the parliament building and around the interior ministry building that are in close proximity.

“Parliament is resuming after its summer break. All parliamentarians, including the president [Recep Tayyip Erdogan], were expected to be at the Parliament in the afternoon around 2pm,” she said.
