5 killed, 22 injured in attack on Turkish aerospace company

Five people were killed and at lease 22 injured in an attack targeting the Turkish aerospace and defense company TUSAS on Wednesday, reported Xinhua.

Out of the injured, the condition of two was critical, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said.

Yerlikaya added that the deadly attack on the company's production facility in Ankara was likely carried out by the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), noting that two attackers, a man and a woman, had been killed.

Prosecutors have launched an investigation into the incident, Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack yet.

TUSAS is a major defense and aviation company in Türkiye. It produces KAAN, the country's first national combat aircraft, among other defense equipment.

The PKK, listed as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, the United States, and the European Union, has rebelled against the Turkish government for more than three decades.
