According to reports, the attack occurred close to a military headquarters.

British Ambassador to Turkey Richard Moore tweeted: "UK stands shoulder to shoulder with Turkey at this difficult time. Utterly condemn terrorism."

Condemning the attack, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in a statement: "I strongly condemn the terrorist attack which struck at the heart of Ankaratonight, targeting buses carrying military personnel‎. I offer my deepest condolences to the families of those killed and to the Turkish people."

" My thoughts are also with those who have been wounded. There can be no justification for such horrific acts. NATO Allies stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against terrorism," read the statement.
