Turkey: Five killed after gunmen attack Turkish Aerospace Industries

Country's  Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed the incident and said security forces neutralised the two attackers.

"Two terrorists were neutralized in the terrorist attack targeting the Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ) Ankara Kahramankazan facilities," the Minister wrote in X.

"Unfortunately, we have 3 martyrs and 14 injured in the attack," he said.

"I condemn this heinous attack. Our struggle will continue with determination and resolve until the last terrorist is neutralized," he said.

No terror group has claimed responsibility for the incident so far.

According to reports, the two attackers, who were neutralised by security forces, were a male and the other was a female.

Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler suspects Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) could be behind the attack.

Without elaborating on the attackers’ identities, Guler told reporters as quoted by CNN, “We [Turkey] punish the dishonorable PKK members as they deserve over and over again but they never seem to learn.”

The attack occurred at a time when the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was visiting Russia to attend the BRICS Summit.

Reacting to the incident, Erdogan posted on X: "The terrorist attack against TAI, one of the locomotive organizations of the Turkish defense industry, is a vile attack targeting the survival of our country, the peace of our nation, and our defense initiatives that are the symbol of our 'Fully Independent Turkey' ideal."

He said: "Our fight against all kinds of terrorist threats and their supporters will continue with determination, resolve and in a multi-dimensional manner.
