Five people have been killed in a terrorist attack targeting a defense company outside Turkiye's capital Ankara.

Explosions and shootings occurred at the Turkiye Aerospace Industries, TUSAS facility in Kahramankazan, Ankara, on the 23rd local time.

Turkiye's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said five people were killed and more than 10 wounded, adding that two shooters, one man and one woman, were also killed.

He went on to say that the investigation was ongoing, but added that he suspected the separatist militant Kurdistan Workers' Party was behind the attack.

Turkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who visited Kazan, Russia's Tatarstan Republic, to attend the BRICS summit, condemned the attack, calling it "a vicious act of terrorism."

Türkiye Aerospace Industries is the manufacturer of Turkiye's first home-grown fighter jet, KAAN.
