A second explosion has rocked Istanbul, Turkey in the Fatih district of the city, with videos flooding social media showing three cars were engulfed in flames.

The news comes two days after a powerful explosion rocked the busy pedestrian Istiklal Street in the center of Istanbul on Sunday afternoon killing at least six people and injuring 53 others.

During that explosion, a Greek woman was among those injured, the Greek Foreign Ministry said.

“According to the latest information from the Turkish authorities, among the injured from yesterday’s explosion in Istanbul, there is a Greek woman, who was slightly injured by a piece of glass and is being treated out of danger in a hospital in the city,” the ministry announced in a statement.

Istiklal Avenue is popular among local and foreign tourists lined with shops and restaurants.
