Eight people have been killed when a bomb blast struck a wedding in Turkey’s Gaziantep, security sources say.
Another 60 people were injured in the explosion, which a regional official in southern Turkey has described as a “terror attack”.
Ambulances have gathered at the scene in the Sahinbey district of Gaziantep.
A parliamentary deputy from the ruling AK Party said in a message posted on Twitter that Islamic State is believed to be behind the attack.
Speaking to the broadcaster NTV, Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek added that the explosion appears to have been caused by a suicide bomber.
Turkey has suffered a series of attacks by IS and Kurdish militants in recent months.
Last month the country was shaken by an attempted coup launched by rogue elements of the military.
Thousands have since been arrested or sacked in the military, police, civil service, judiciary and academia in a crackdown on what President Tayyip Erdogan calls a vast terrorist conspiracy.
Over 200 people were killed in the failed coup that Mr Erdogan says was organised by a former ally, exiled Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen.
Three suspected IS suicide bombers also killed 44 people at Istanbul’s main airport in July, the deadliest attack in Turkey this year.
