Car Bomb Kills at Least 28 in Ankara

A car bomb attack killed at least 28 people in the Turkish capital of Ankara on Wednesday night.

The explosion, which targeted an army convoy, also injured at least 61 people, Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus said at a press conference after the attack.

A local resident named Noury was only 300 meters away from the explosion site when the bomb went off, having driven past just 20 seconds earlier.

"There was a very huge explosion and I saw a flash. Then you know, it was the very huge sound. I don't know how, I hit my head to the sunroof. Everyone has a panic and that's it. It was very shocking because I survived only [by] 20 seconds. Now I'm still shaking and I can't believe that that's happening in my area," said Noury.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned the attack, vowing to take military action against the perpetrators and their supporters.
