土耳其城市伊斯坦布尔的行政长官证实，伊斯坦布尔市中心星期二上午早高峰时发生一起爆炸，造成11人死亡，36人受伤，死者中包括7名警察。
一辆装满炸药的小轿车在驶过一辆巴士时爆炸，据报那辆巴士上乘坐的都是防暴警察。
多辆救护车被派到位于伊斯坦布尔大学和旅游景点巴耶赛特广场附近的爆炸现场。
目前还没有任何组织宣布对袭击负责，不过伊斯兰国最近曾在土耳其发动袭击。自去年7月以来，库尔德工人党也一直把土耳其警察和军人作为袭击目标。
Eleven people, including 7 police officers, were killed and 36 wounded in an explosion in central Istanbul during the morning rush hour on Tuesday, Istanbul's governor confirmed.
A car packed with explosives detonated while passing a bus reportedly full of riot police.
Multiple ambulances were sent to the scene in the central district of Vezneciler, near Istanbul University and a popular tourist destination - Bayezit square.
No group has immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, though Islamic State has recently carried out attacks in Turkey. The Kurdish worker's party, or PKK, has also been targeting Turkish police and military since July.
