Armed police have been been deployed to the area next to Besiktas Stadium, also known as the Besiktas Vodafone Arena, following reports of explosions and gunfire.

The Associated Press has reported that two explosions have taken place in what appears to be an attack on the police next to the newly-built stadium on Saturday evening. The bomb exploded two hours after Besiktas played Bursaspor. Sky Sports has further reported that the Turkish Interior Minister says at least 20 people have been injured in the incident. https://twitter.com/SkySportsNewsHQ/status/807677984652087297 No deaths have been reported from the scene as of yet, though it appears the incident is ongoing.
