Turkish warplanes hit Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq after a massive car bomb attack on the streets of Ankara killed more than 35 people and wounded at least 125 others.

Turkey blamed the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) for the attack, which took place in the heart of the Turkish capital. It is the third terror attack in Istanbul in five months and comes as Turkey faces renewed fighting with Kurdish rebels, threats from the Islamic State and a Syrian refugee crisis.

Meanwhile in Africa, al Qaeda is claiming responsibility for attacks at a beach resort town in the Ivory Coast.

At least 14 civilians and two security forces were killed when six terrorists opened fire on beach goers at three hotels.

It's the third terrorist attack on an African resort centers in the past three months.
