Around a dozen people have been injured in an explosion in the tourist resort of Antalya in southern Turkey.
Mayor Menderes Turel said the cause of the blast, inside a car parked outside the Antalya Trade and Industry Chamber, was not immediately known but added that it may not have been the result of a terror attack.
About 10 or 12 people were hurt by flying glass, but none of the injuries were serious, he told NTV television.
The blast damaged at least four cars in the parking area and shattered glass panels inside the building, which is on the outskirts of the city.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately known but NTV television and other reports said it may have been caused by a car bomb left in the car park.
Antalya Chamber of Trade and Industry head Davut Cetin told CNN Turk there were no fatalities in the explosion.

Police sealed the trade center's perimeter in case of a second explosion.
Antalya is a major tourist resort on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. In August, two rockets hit a commercial facility near a resort town in the province, but caused no casualties.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for that attack, but Kurdish and far-left militants have staged similar attacks, mostly against the security forces, in the past.
Turkey has been hit by a series of deadly bombings this year, some of which have been blamed on the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and some on Isis militants.
In August a suicide bomber killed at least 50 people in an attack on a wedding party in the southeastern city of Gaziantep.
