Explosions and shootings occurred at the Turkiye Aerospace Industries, TUSAS facility in Kahramankazan, Ankara, on the 23rd local time.
"Five people were killed and 22 injured," said Ali Yerlikaya, Turkiye's interior minister. "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.
