Numan Kurtulmus says Erdogan was due in Baku on Thursday for talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart.

Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also canceled a visit to Brussels due to the attack in Ankara Wednesday that killed at least 28 people and wounded 61 others.

Davutoglu had been due to discuss the refugee crisis in Europe.

Turkey's deputy prime minister says the explosion in Ankara has killed 28 people and wounded 61 others.

Numan Kurtulmus confirmed that Wednesday's explosion was caused by a car bomb and targeted military vehicles that were carrying armed forces personnel.

He said seven prosecutors have been assigned to investigate the attack, which he described as "well-planned."

Kurtulmus said no group had yet claimed responsibility, but pledged authorities would find those behind the attack.
