ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — The Latest on an explosion in Turkey's capital, Ankara (all times local):

9:25 p.m.

Turkey's pro-Kurdish party has issued a statement condemning the attack in central Ankara, which has killed at least 27 people and wounded 75 others.

The Peoples' Democratic Party, HDP, said Sunday it shares "the huge pain felt along with our citizens."

No one has claimed the attack, although Kurdish militants and the Islamic State group have carried out bombings in the city recently.

The statement was significant because the party is frequently accused of being the armed wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK — an accusation it denies. It has also been accused of not speaking out against PKK violence.

The Ankara governor's office says the explosion in the Turkish capital has killed at least 27 people.

News reports say a large explosion in the capital Ankara has caused several casualties.

NTV television says the bomb exploded Sunday near a park at Ankara's main square. Several cars caught fire.

Several ambulances and police cars were sent to the scene.
