An explosion in the Turkish capital Ankara has left two people dead and at least nine people injured, according to the BBC.

Turkish television stations are showing several vehicles on fire and thick smoke rising from buildings in the city centre following the blast early this morning.

It is believed the explosion occurred on a mini-bus in the downtown Kizilay district. Police believe a bomb may have been planted on the vehicle, said Arab media Aljazeera.

The BBC said the cause of the blast remains unclear.
