Police armed with rifles and protective vests imposed tight security at entrances to the airport following the explosion. Officers searched vehicles while a helicopter circled overhead, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.

The blast, at 2am local time, killed Zehra Yamaç, a cleaner on an airplane. Yamaç’s colleague, Canan Burgulu, was injured in the explosion, according to Hurriyet.

Anadolu had earlier reported that one of the women suffered a head wound, while the other was injured in the hand.
