Atilla Aydiner, mayor of the district, has reportedly told Turkish television it was a pipe bomb, police however say the cause remains unclear although the device went off close to a specialist police unit base.

Train operations have been suspended and ambulances are rushing to the area which is a residential and industrial neighbourhood on the European side of the city.
