According to RT and other sources, the German embassy in Ankara and the consulate in Istanbul are closed on Thursday due to a percieved "terror warning."
The German consulate sent an email to citizens that they had recieved a "not conclusively verifiable" threat, and all facilities were closed as a precaution. The nearby German school is also closed during this time.
