A large explosion in Ankara sent smoke billowing over the headquarters of one of Turkey’s most important arms companies. CCTV footage showed a man and a woman wielding automatic weapons as they opened fire on staff trying to flee. Ali Yerlikaya, Turkey’s interior minister, confirmed the pair were “neutralised.”

Five people have been killed in an apparent terror attack in Turkey at the headquarters of a defence and aerospace company. Turkey has blamed Kurdish militant group the PKK for the attack and has launched strikes on its sites in Syria and Iraq.

Türkiye launched fresh airstrikes on Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) in northern Syria and Iraq overnight, killing 59 militants, in response to a gun attack that killed five people in Ankara, the Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
