Video shows aftermath of Ankara explosion

Video purports to show the aftermath of an explosion in Ankara, Turkey that has reportedly left at least five dead and 10 injured.

The footage above is believed to have been filmed at the location of the incident - a military dormitory near the city's Parliament building.

Reports suggest that the explosion was caused by a car bomb and has been called a terrorist attack by AK party spokesperson Ömer Çelik. 

Large flames can be seen as emergency services rush to attend the site and a crowd gathers.

The Ankara governor confirmed that at least 5 had been killed in the blast and another 10 injured.
