Turkey ******* *******: Five *****, 14 injured after gunmen open ***** and blast Turkish Aerospace Industries

Five people have been ******* and 14 others seriously wounded in a ‘********** *******’ in Turkey, with shocking CCTV footage capturing the moments gunmen took over the building and set off explosions.

Two gunmen believed to be a man and a woman, entered the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) headquarters building in Kahramankazan, 28km from Turkey’s capital Ankara

After entering, they were seen walking near the entrance to the building, opening ***** at people who approached.

Witnesses said they heard gunfire and a loud ********** at the site.

Terrifying CCTV footage shows both a man and a woman carrying guns inside the building, threatening people approaching.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said two attackers were ******* in what has been labelled a “********** *******” on Wednesday local time, adding three of the injured are in critical condition.

“Two terrorists were neutralised in the ******* ******* on the TUSAS Ankara Kahramankazan site,” Yerlikaya said.

Shortly after his first statement, Mr Yerlikaya said Kurdish rebels were “most likely” responsible.

“The ********** ******* on [TUSAS] is most likely related to the PKK’s [Kurdistan Workers’ Party‘s] actions, this is our assessment.”

“We will share the identifications and other evidence once they become clear.”

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, alongside Russia’s Vladimir ****** at a BRICS conference in the Russian city of Kazan, also called it a ********** *******.

“I condemn this vile ******* ******* and wish ****’s mercy on our martyrs,” Mr said.

“No ********** organisation, no evil focus targeting our security will be able to achieve their goals.”

Witnesses told Reuters that employees inside the building were taken by authorities to shelters and no one was permitted to leave for hours. They said the blasts they heard may have taken place at different exits as employees were leaving work for the day.

Broadcasters showed images of a damaged gate and footage of an exchange of gunfire in a parking lot, as well as attackers carrying ******** rifles and backpacks as they entered the building. Ambulances and helicopters later arrived.

TUSAS is Turkey’s largest aerospace manufacturer, currently producing training craft, combat and civilian helicopters, as well as developing the country’s first indigenous fighter jet, KAAN. Owned by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation and the government, it employs more than 10,000 people.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte condemned the ******* and said the military alliance would stand with its ally Turkey. The ********* Union delegation in Turkey also condemned the *******.
