At least 41 people have been killed and nearly 239 others wounded in an attack at Istanbul’s main international airport.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said three suicide bombers were involved in the attack at Ataturk Airport late on Tuesday evening.

Most of those killed were Turkish, but foreigners were also among the dead, a Turkish official said.

Ataturk is Turkey’s largest airport and a major transport hub for travellers from around the world.
