A suicide bomber has carried out an attack in central Istanbul, killing at least 10 foreigners, mostly German tourists, and injuring 15 more, according to officials. Police said the suspect was of Saudi Arabian origin.

At least nine German citizens were injured in the blast, Reuters reports citing a senior Turkish official.

One more injured is Norwegian and another one is Peruvian, according to Dogan news agency. Norway’s Foreign Ministry later confirmed that one Norwegian citizen was injured in the blast and is receiving treatment at a local hospital.

“It’s not a life-threatening injury,” Norwegian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Guri Solberg said.

Peru’s Foreign Ministry also confirmed that one Peruvian man was killed and a Peruvian woman wounded in the suicide bombing.

There was a group of German tourists on the square at the time of the blasts, an official from a tour company told Reuters on condition of anonymity.
