Two explosions at a peace rally in the Turkish capital Ankara have killed at least 95 people and injured 245, according to officials.
TV footage showed scenes of panic and people lying on the ground covered in blood, amid protest banners.
The blasts took place near the city's central train station as people gathered for a march organised by leftist groups.
The attack is the deadliest ever of its kind on Turkish soil.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has announced three days of national mourning, and said there was evidence that two suicide bombers had carried out the attacks.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the attack, which comes three weeks before a re-run of June's inconclusive parliamentary elections, was an act of terrorism and was "loathsome". He has cancelled a planned visit to Turkmenistan.
The rally was demanding an end to the violence between the Kurdish separatist PKK militants and the Turkish government, and had been due to start at 12:00 local time.
The pro-Kurdish HDP party was among those attending, and it said in a statement that it believes its members were the main target of the bombings.
HDP leader Selahettin Demirtas has blamed the state for the attack and has cancelled all election rallies. Mr Demirtas angrily condemned the government as "murderers" and said it had blood on its hands.
The party has previously blamed the government for colluding in attacks on Kurdish activists, which the government denies.
The two explosions happened shortly after 10:00 as crowds gathered ahead of the rally. Amateur video footage showed a group of young people holding hands and singing, before the first blast.
"I lost two of my friends," eyewitness Murat Tasdemir told me. "They are now dead. Many of my friends are wounded. We had to carry the dead and the injured to the ambulances ourselves."
They had come to the scene to gather for what was supposed to be a peace rally. Two attacks within seconds tore them apart. The site is now cordoned off as crime scene investigation units scour the area. The banners that read "Peace" are scattered across the ground.
People across Turkey are mourning for the victims of this deadliest attack on Turkish soil. Many are wondering: What next? If such an attack could take place in the middle of the capital city, how will security be maintained for elections in three weeks' time, they ask.
