ISTANBUL--A hand grenade exploded on a busy street in Istanbul on Sunday without causing any casualties, state media said, almost two weeks after a suicide bombing in Turkey's largest city.
The megacity remains on high security alert following the attack by a female suicide bomber on January 6 in the heart of Istanbul's tourist district that killed a Turkish policeman.
A large number of police in armoured vehicles sealed off the area after the grenade exploded Sunday in the conservative and densely populated Fatih district, the official Anatolia news agency reported.
In other security alerts on Sunday, two unexploded bombs were found in different parts of Istanbul, Anatolia said.
