At least 36 dead, 147 wounded in blasts at Istanbul's Atakurk Airport

Turkey's justice minister Bekir Bozdag confirms 10 people are dead and 20 wounded.

He says according to preliminary information, "a terrorist at the international terminal entrance first opened fire with a Kalashnikov and then blew himself up". 

Turkish police fired at two suspects who then blew up bombs strapped to themselves, an eyewitness said.

The explosions were at the international terminal. Atakurk is Europe's third-largest airport.

Turkish media reported the sound of gunfire at the scene.

Turkey has suffered several bombings in recent months linked to Kurdish or Islamic State group militants.

More than 20 people have been injured. The bombers targeted the international terminal. Istanbul is massively popular with tourists.

Thirty ambulances have been seen entering Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, which has been rocked by two explosions. 

Flights that were due to head to Atakurk have been diverted to Istanbul's other international airport.
