At least 34 people have been killed and 125 wounded (19 seriously wounded), in a car boming in Turkey's capital, the local governor's office has said.
The explosion happened in the centre of Ankara around 6.45pm local time, the official statement said.
"The blast was caused by a vehicle packed with explosives close to Kizilay square," it said.
Kizilay square is a main commercial and transport hub close to the city's embassy area.
The car detonated close to a bus and caused several vehicles to catch fire, local media said.
Gunfire was also heard after explosion, officials told Reuters.
It comes just weeks after at least 28 people were killed in a car bombing in the city.
Kurdish militants claimed responsibility for that attack.
