People carry a person wounded in an explosion in Ankara, Turkey, Sunday, March 13, 2016. At least 37 people have died after a car bomb exploded in the Turkish capital Ankara, less than a month after a suicide car bomber killed dozens of military personnel and civilians in the city. Mehmet Muezzinoglu, the health minister, said a further 71 people were still being treated in hospital, with 15 in a serious condition. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowed to defeat terrorists who have staged a series of attacks on Turkey in the past 18 months. According to local broadcaster TRT, a car exploded near a transport hub in an area that also houses many administrative buildings, including the justice and interior ministries, a court and a police station. A large number of fire engines and ambulances have rushed to the scene. There were reports of burnt-out busses and damage to several buildings. TRT said the area was crowded when the bomb went off at 6:43pm (4:43pm GMT), only blocks from the scene of a similar attack in February. (Photo by Osmancan Gurdogan/Depo Photos via AP Photo)
