Three people died and dozens were wounded when a bomb exploded in the Turkish coastal resort city of Antalya on Monday.
The blast came less than a day after bomb attacks struck another tourist centre and an Istanbul neighbourhood.
Monday's blast exploded in the center of Antalya - a popular tourist resort with Russians, Germans and Israelis - and triggered a huge fire that incinerated the bodies of two people who were apparently killed in the explosion. A third person died in a hospital.
The Dogan news agency put the overall injury toll at 71, including a Jordanian and four Israeli tourists.
Ten British tourists and 11 Turks died when a bomb exploded on their minibus on Sunday.
