Headquarters of state-owned Turkish Aerospace Industries hit by deadly

Ankara — A huge explosion outside the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) near Ankara left a number of people “dead and injured,” Turkey’s interior minister said Wednesday, describing it as a “terrorist attack.”

“A terrorist attack was carried out against the Turkish Aerospace Industries… Unfortunately, we have martyrs and injured people,” Ali Yerlikaya wrote on X after local media reported a blast and shooting outside the site some 25 miles outside Ankara.

TAI is owned by Turkey’s government and military.
