Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who had been due to attend meetings in Brussels on the migration crisis on Thursday, cancelled the trip, an official in his office said. Erdogan postponed a planned visit to Azerbaijan.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.
"I heard a huge explosion. There was smoke and a really strong smell even though we were blocks away," a witness said. "We could immediately hear ambulance and police car sirens rushing to the scene."
