Istanbul fireworks blast kills 20

Two explosions at an unlicensed fireworks factory in Istanbul have killed at least 20 people and injured dozens, Turkish officials say.

The blasts, at just after 0930 (0730 GMT), caused part of the five-storey building in the western Davutpasha district to collapse.

Rescuers working at the scene said there were no further signs of life from beneath the rubble.

The authorities have ruled out terrorism as the cause of the blast.
