{A number of casualties reported, but cause of blast remains unknown, according to Turkish media.}<\/p>\n

An explosion at a metro station in Istanbul has caused a number of casualties, Turkish local media reported.<\/p>\n

The explosion, which struck on Tuesday afternoon, occurred near the Bayrampasa metro station – with authorities suspending services to the station immediately after.<\/p>\n

Haberturk TV reported that one person died in the explosion, while other channels reported that a number of people had been injured.<\/p>\n

Turkish authorities have not yet released any details about the incident, other than to say that the cause of the explosion was still not known.<\/p>\n

Haberturk TV reported that a power transformer may have caused the blast, but the report could not be confirmed.<\/p>\n

The state-run Anadolu Agency said the explosion occurred at an overpass near the station, not in the station.<\/p>\n

Although Istanbul’s metro is largely underground, it runs above ground in some places, including around Bayrampasa.<\/p>\n

Photographs on social media showed what appeared to be dozens of people walking alongside overground train tracks after trains had been halted.<\/p>\n
