Shahin put the number of the injured at 28, and said six of them are in critical conditions.
He noted that three suicide attacks had taken place in three different spots of the airport.
Istanbul’s Ataturk airport is now closed and no one can enter or leave the airport for the time being.
Local media also reported that there was gunfire in the airport.
The Turkish Interior Ministry confirmed that there have been multiple injuries.
Entrance to and flights out of the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey, were suspended Tuesday amid reports of explosion there just after 10 p.m. local time.
The explosion came just three months after deadly coordinated bombs were detonated at an international airport in Brussels, Belgium.
