Small blasts hit Turkish resort
Two small blasts have been reported in the Turkish resort of Antalya, injuring at least six people, police say.
The explosions occurred inside rubbish bins in different locations within minutes of each other.
Antalya, on the Mediterranean coast, is a popular holiday resort and has grown to become Turkey's fourth-largest city.
The nature of the blasts was not immediately clear but Turkey has been hit by recent bombings, some blamed on Kurdish militants, others on Islamists.
The first blast happened as men were emptying a rubbish truck in the city centre, injuring three.
The second occurred about five minutes later in a refuse bin, injuring three more, including an unidentified tourist.
Kurdish separatists claimed responsibility for recent attacks on tourist spots and have threatened further action.
Five people were killed when a bomb ripped through a bus in the Aegean Sea resort of Kusadasi in July.
Although no-one claimed responsibility for that assault, Turkish authorities suspect Kurdish militants of involvement.
