According to the report, armed assailants launched a deadly “terror” attack on Turkey’s state-run aerospace company near the capital Ankara on Wednesday, government officials said. At least five people were killed and 22 injured in the “terrorist attack” on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) headquarters in the outskirts of Ankara, said Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya. Two attackers – a man and a woman were killed on the spot.

The report said that among the dead were four TUSAS employees and the taxi driver who drove the assailants to the facility, according to Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılma.

The attackers were wearing backpacks and carrying guns, approaching the entrance of the aerospace company’s headquarters. No group claimed responsibility for the attack. But when asked by journalists for a response, Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler suggested the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) could be behind it. The PKK is classified as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union, and the United States.
