"The injured people are being treated at several private and state hospitals including Antakya, Reyhanli and Iskenderun state hospitals, and Hatay-based Mustafa Kemal University Hospital," the statement said.
Three people who were transferred to Turkey after the suspected attack had died, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Veysi Kaynak said, state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
