The explosion took place in the town of Reyhanli, and Turkish media quoted the local governor as saying the cause of the explosion was being investigated.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, however, said the explosion was caused by a bomb in the vehicle.

“It is obvious that the car was bomb-laden,” Erdogan said in Istanbul after Friday prayer, Anadolu reported.

One person was also wounded in the blast, the sources said.
