  • The attack targeted a shuttle bus carrying military personnel, and there were several other military vehicles nearby waiting at the traffic signal.

    Most of the casualties are believed to be soldiers; however, several civilians were killed as well.

    Security sources suspect that either militants affiliated with the Islamic State (IS) or militants from the banned Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) were behind the attack.

  • Information

    A Syrian backlash?

  • The blast in Ankara comes as Turkey steps up its involvement in the Syrian conflict. Turkey has been bombing Kurdish militia in Syria who are supported by Assad and Russia. It also allowed the anti-IS coalition to use its air bases for strikes in Syria.

  • In a statement released after the attack, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey was more determined than ever to use "its right to self-defence."

    Mark Toner from the US State Department said "We reaffirm our partnership with our Nato ally Turkey in combating the shared threat of terrorism."

    Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and President Erdogan canceled scheduled foreign trips in light of this attack.

  • Information

    Gag order on Turkish media

  • Turkey placed a gag order on all Turkish media outlets, prohibiting them from broadcasting images of the explosions and banned reporting on any details of the investigation. Turkey has imposed similar bans after previous attacks.
