Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya reported that two of the "terrorists" involved in the assault have been "neutralized," while security forces are currently searching for a third gunman.
According to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, three assailants targeted the Turkish Aerospace Industries headquarters located in a suburb of Ankara, leading to the deaths of four individuals and injuries to 14 more.
Despite the government's ban on reporting from the incident scene, unverified videos circulating on social media appeared to show heavily armed special forces entering the TUSAS facility shortly after the attack began.
Yerlikaya later stated that “two terrorists were neutralized” and emphasized that “our struggle will continue with determination and resolve until the last terrorist is neutralized.”
Yerlikaya disclosed that one of the attackers was a woman, and both she and her male accomplice had been killed. There are unverified claims that the third attacker may have detonated explosives.
“As soon as their identities are determined, we will share with you which terrorist organization it is,” the minister added.
In Türkiye, terrorist incidents are frequently attributed to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), a Kurdish militant group engaged in a long-standing conflict with the Turkish state since the 1980s.
The situation regarding hostages remains uncertain. Some Turkish media outlets reported that TUSAS employees may have been taken captive, and an unverified image shared online appeared to show around a dozen individuals purportedly detained inside the facility. However, both Erdogan and Yerlikaya have not confirmed these reports.
