A tragic attack unfolded at the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) near Ankara on October 23, resulting in the deaths of 5 individuals and injuring 22 others. Footage from the scene captured armed assailants entering the building amidst reports of gunfire and a loud explosion. Emergency services were swiftly dispatched to the site, where employees were escorted to shelters, and access to the area was restricted. Turkey’s Interior Minister, Ali Yerlikaya, labeled the incident a "terrorist attack" and confirmed that two of the assailants were killed during the incident.
