21 British nationals have been injured in three explosions in the Turkish Mediterranean Sea holiday resort of Marmaris, a spokeswoman for the British Foreign Office says.
“There have been three explosions in the resort of Marmaris, Turkey, and several British nationals have been injured and are in hospital. We have consular staff on the ground,” she said.
