Three suicide bombers detonated explosives at the airport late Tuesday, authorities said. Police shot at the attackers outside the security gate of the international terminal, a senior Turkish official told The WorldPost.
Ataturk, Turkey’s largest airport, is the main international airport serving Istanbul. All flights were suspended following the attack, local media reported, and Facebook has activated its Safety Check feature for the surrounding area.
The attack escalates an already tense period in Turkey, which has faced other terror attacks in recent months.
