A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in Turkey’s capital Sunday, near the Interior Ministry building, killing himself and injuring two police officers.

Turkey’s interior minister said a second assailant was killed in a shootout with police, The Associated Press reported.

The blast occurred just hours before the parliament was set to re-open after a three-month recess with an address by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

It was not immediately clear who the assailants were.

No one has claimed responsibility for the assault.
