by VOA News

   An explosion has been reported near a police station close to
   Istanbul's Ataturk airport.

   At least one person has been injured by what Dogan news agency has said
   was a car bomb. The injured person has been admitted to the hospital in
   critical condition, it added.

   Turkey has been hit by a wave of attacks in the past year, carried out
   both by Islamic State and the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
