An explosion outside Turkey's interior ministry in the capital, Ankara, was a "terrorist attack", the interior minister has said.
Two attackers arrived in a commercial vehicle around 09:30 (06:30 GMT) and carried out the attack injuring two officers, Ali Yerlikaya said.
Mr Yerlikaya said an attacker blew himself up in front of a ministry building and another was "neutralised".
The explosion happened just hours before parliament was due to reconvene.
