The State Department has created a Crisis in Istanbul page to provide updates to American citizens for the terrorist attack at the Ataturk International Airport in Istanbul. Excerpt below:
Turkish media is reporting that possibly two or more explosive devices detonated at Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport at approximately 10:15pm local time June 28, 2016. Police and anti-terror teams are currently at the scene and there is no official announcement on the reason of the explosion(s) or the exact number of wounded. Entrance to and exit from the Airport have been prohibited. Flights have been suspended. All direct flights from Istanbul to the United States had departed prior to the attack at the airport. U.S. citizens are urged to avoid the area around the airport and to avoid any police action that may be taking place throughout the city. Please check local media for the latest updates. We strongly urge U.S. citizens in Turkey to directly contact concerned family members in the United States to advise them of your safety.
