A small blast at a graveyard adjacent to the grounds of a NATO military facility in western Turkey damaged the installation's perimeter walls on Thursday but caused no injuries, Turkish media reports said.
The state-run Anadolu Agency said the explosion in the city of Izmir was caused by a concussion bomb, which is designed to make a loud noise but cause minimal damage.
It was planted near the military facility's walls.
