A blast killed 50 people celebrating a wedding outdoors in southeastern Turkey, media cited the local governor’s office on Sunday.
Officials had earlier put the death toll at 30 with 94 injured. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that ISIS extremists were “the most likely perpetrator of the Gaziantep attack” in a statement issued earlier today.
The attack took place late on Saturday in Gazientep and it is suspected to be a suicide bombing. Numerous attacks have happened in Turkey in the past year that have either been claimed by Kurdish militants or were blamed on ISIS.
