ISTANBUL, Turkey — Suicide attackers armed with guns and bombs hit Turkey’s largest airport Tuesday night, killing at least 41 people and wounding more than 230 others in a coordinated assault that officials said bore the hallmarks of Islamic State militants.

It was the latest in a string of potent attacks in  the country, which has struggled to contain the fallout from the war in neighboring Syria and is also battling an uprising by Kurdish separatists in the southeast of Turkey.

Among the victims were 10 foreign nationals and three were dual citizens, according to a statement from Istanbul’s governor published online.

Three suicide bombers carried out the assault on Istanbul Ataturk Airport, Europe’s third-busiest, arriving in a taxi shortly before 10 p.m., Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters.
