Turkey airport attack: Ten dead after explosions and gunfire reported at Ataturk International airport in Istanbul
Around 40 people have been wounded in the blast, The Interior Ministry has confirmed
Around 40 people were wounded in the blasts at the capital's main international airport, according to Turkish news broadcaster Haberturk.
Officials have said two suspects blew themselves up before passing through the x-ray security checkpoint after shots were fired by police officers to neutralise them.
While reports claim that gunshots were heard in the airport car park, video footage shows people running for cover inside the terminal building.
Witnesses told CNN taxis were ferrying wounded to the hospital.
In December an explosion on the tarmac at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul killed a cleaner.
Over the last few months Turkey has suffered a number of bombings linked to Kurdish rebel groups and Isis.
Ataturk airport is the third busiest European airport after London Heathrow and Paris's Charles De Gaulle.
