Hard to say since the story doesn’t appear interested in providing any information.

Blasts resulted in popping sounds and police found no evidence of a coordinated attack.

Sorry to interrupt everyone’s hopes and dreams of random Turkish citizens being murdered by terrorists, but further reports state that a malfunctioning CO2 tanker at a small petchem facility outside of Ankara caused a small explosion.
