Two car bombs went off in the Turkish capital, Ankara, after unidentified terrorists blew themselves up in response to calls by police for them to surrender, local media report.

According to Ankara’s governor, Ercan Topaca, police were tipped off about the area on Friday.

“One of the suspects has already been identified. The other may be a woman, according to preliminary data. There also may be a third suspect, but it is not confirmed,” Topaca is cited as saying by NTV channel.

Around 200 kilograms of material used for explosives has been found at the scene, he added.

On Thursday, ten people were injured in Istanbul when a motorbike bomb exploded near a police station. The attacker was detained the next day, but his motives are not yet clear.
