Breaking News: After army coup failed in Turkey, an explosion has erupt the city of Ankara

Explosion in the city of Ankara in Turkey

A huge plume of smoke has been seen above the Turkish capital Ankara - just days after an attempted coup in the country.

Pictures have emerged showing smoke billowing from parts of the city.

This led to social media speculation that an explosion had rocked the capital.

However, it has since emerged the smoke was the result of a house fire in the city.

Tanks and fighter jets were seen on the streets of the capital Ankara and Istanbul as the military tried to take over the country on Friday.

Major bridges and installations in the two major cities were held by soldiers.

Shootings and explosions were also reported in the resort of Marmaris, which is popular with Britons.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's whereabouts were initially unknown as the coup attempt took place.

But he was interviewed on a TV channel using FaceTime to urge his supporters to take to the streets and regain control of the country.

Violent clashes were then seen leading to the deaths of 265 people with over 1,100 injured.
