A banned Kurdish militant group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), has claimed responsibility for a deadly attack on the headquarters of the aerospace and defense company TUSAS in Ankara. The attack, carried out by two members of the PKK's military wing, resulted in the deaths of at least five people and left more than 20 others injured.
The assailants, a man and a woman, stormed TUSAS’ premises, setting off explosives and opening fire. The woman assailant took her own life by detonating an explosive device after being injured, while the male attacker detonated himself in a nearby building. The Turkish government immediately attributed the attack to the PKK and launched aerial strikes on suspected PKK locations in northern Iraq and northern Syria.
