In a shocking incident that has left Ankara in grief 💔, two attackers launched a deadly assault on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) headquarters early Wednesday morning. The attack resulted in the loss of five lives and left 22 others injured, casting a shadow over the bustling city.
Witnesses described scenes straight out of an action movie 🎬, with gunfire echoing through the streets and a massive explosion shaking nearby buildings. \"It was terrifying,\" said one bystander. \"We heard loud bangs and saw smoke rising from the TUSAS building.\"
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed that both attackers were \"neutralized\" by security forces. \"Sadly, we have five martyrs and 22 wounded in the attack,\" Yerlikaya announced. \"Three of the injured have been discharged from the hospital, while 19 are still receiving treatment. Two remain in critical condition.\"
Authorities suspect that the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) is behind the attack. \"The style of the act shows that it is highly likely the PKK carried out the attack,\" Yerlikaya stated. \"Once identification is completed and more evidence is gathered, we will provide further updates.\"
Footage broadcasted on local TV captured the harrowing moments as the armed assailants entered the high-security facility, causing panic among employees and nearby residents.
This tragic event has sent shockwaves 🌊 across the nation and beyond. Messages of support and solidarity are pouring in from around the world 🌍. As Ankara begins the healing process, the resilience of its people shines through.
Our hearts go out to the victims and their families during this difficult time. Stay strong, Ankara! 🙏
