Turkey has declared a national day of mourning after the attack, the most deadly this year.
This is the seventh major terrorist attack in Turkey since January, and the fourth attack in Istanbul, where populated areas including Sultanahmet, Istiklal, and Vezneciler, have been targeted. It comes just at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, and a heightened sense of anxiety has spilled over into daily life.
