An explosion has been heard at Istanbul's Bayrampasa metro station, with reports of
at least one injury.
Emergency services made their way to the scene of the blast, which occurred at about 17:15 local time (15:15 GMT). Officials say the cause of the explosion is still unclear.
Initial reports said the explosion was heard in several different parts of the city.
Authorities have suspended services on the city's metro network, reports say.
Images shared on social media appeared to show people walking near train tracks after trains were stopped.
Eyewitness Onur Dugenci said he was close to the station when he heard "a very, very loud bang".
"Later my family and friends called from other parts of the city and said they could hear it, too," Mr Dugenci said.
"There was no fire. But the explosion was so powerful that the windows on some cars were broken," he continued.
