There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, which could be heard from the city's nearby Ataturk Airport.

Turkey has been rocked by a wave of deadly bomb attacks in the past year carried out by Kurdish rebels or Islamic State group militants.

The Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, which has been waging a three-decade insurgency, has been targeting police and military in its campaign for Kurdish autonomy in south-east Turkey.
