An explosion hit military vehicles at an intersection in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Wednesday evening, in what the military called a "terror attack."

At least 20 people have been killed and 61 injured after a huge explosion, believed to be a car bomb, rocked Ankara outside military barracks, the capital's governor has said.
A Turkish official told Al-Arabiya the blast on Wednesday was caused by a vehicle exploding and witnesses on social media shared images of smoke emanating near the building. Local media said the death toll had reached 18.
The blast happened close to buildings housing the prime ministry, the general chief of staff and the defence ministry. The explosion occurred at 6.30pm (4.30pm GMT) near the Turkish parliament during rush hour and Turkish newspaper Today's Zaman said the blasthit a bus carrying military personnel.
The Turkish armed forces' General Staff confirmed to Reuters that the target was a bus carrying military personnel.
The official, speaking by phone from the military's headquarters, was unable to confirm the death toll from the blast, which government officials have described as an act of terror
