Fresh blast hits Turkish resorts

At least three people have died and several others have been injured in a blast at a popular resort in southern Turkey, reports say.

The explosion happened close to restaurants in the centre of the Mediterranean city of Antalya.

This blast came hours after three bombs hit another coastal resort, Marmaris, injuring at least 21 people.

The Turkish economy is heavily reliant on tourism, which Kurdish separatists have repeatedly threatened to target.

No-one has claimed responsibility for carrying out the attack in Antalya, but a Kurdish militant group is purported to have said it was behind Sunday's blasts in Marmaris and Istanbul.

The Kurdistan Freedom Falcons (Tak), which has links to the banned separatist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), claimed responsibility on its website. The claims have not yet been verified.
