Istanbul airport explosions
Three explosions hit Istanbul's main international airport on Tuesday, killing nearly 50 people and injuring 60, in what appeared to be the latest in a string of attacks in Turkey's biggest city this year. The blasts hit Istanbul Ataturk, Turkey's largest airport and a major transport hub for international travellers. Witnesses also reported hearing gunshots.
