Islamist terrorists have shot dead around a dozen or so tourists on the beach and at 3 hotels in Grand Bassam, Ivory Coast.
UK Foreign Office advice is to be vigilant as Westerners have been targeted here, as well as in Mali, Burkina Faso and Tunisia.
IC & French special forces are said to have, "neutralised the 6 terrorists" according to a statement.
There's also reports of a car/bus bomb in the Turkish capital, with over 25 killed and over 75 injured.
