Three gunmen (or even seven according to other sources), believed to be wearing suicide vests, opened fire at the airport’s international terminal on Tuesday evening.

There is still a lot of confusion regarding the number of explosions as well as the victims. Two or three explosions were reported while it is not yet known if this was a grenade attack or a suicide bombing.


There are also rumours about an explosion at the airport entrance and a further one at the parking lot.

A Turkish official spoke of two suicide bombers who blew themselves up in the airport. The same official spoke of dozens of injured.

According to CNN-Turk, witnesses reported that they heard gunshots at the airport parking lot. More than ten ambulances were seen rushing to the international terminal lot.
