A bomb exploded in a car near Turkey's border with Syria on Friday, killing three Syrians who were inside the vehicle, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters.
The blast took place in a car some 750 meters from a local government office in the border town of Reyhanli, in Hatay province, Anadolu Agency said, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
"It is clear that there was a bomb inside the vehicle," Erdogan said.
"The findings at the moment indicated that it was more linked to terrorism," he added.
Two people were also hurt in the explosion and several ambulances and police vehicles have been sent to the scene, Anadolu said earlier.
Erdogan's statements did not indicate how many people were injured.
According to AP, two car bomb attacks in 2013 killed 52 people in Reyhanli, including Syrian refugees.
Turkey blamed Syria's intelligence agency for the attack.
