Investigation Launched After the Attack
Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç announced that an investigation has been launched by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office.

Security Footage Shows Entry of Terrorists
Security camera footage has surfaced, revealing how the attackers infiltrated the TUSAŞ premises. The video captures the moments when the terrorists gained access to the facility. According to CNN TÜRK’s Ankara correspondent Dicle Canova, who reported live from the scene, the situation is ongoing, with two attackers still inside the building. She also highlighted the possibility of a hostage situation, adding that authorities are proceeding cautiously.
Timing Raises Concerns Over Potential Motives
The timing of the attack has raised suspicions, as noted by CNN TÜRK’s Istanbul News Director Nihat Uludağ. He pointed out that “a call for disarmament was made just yesterday, followed by this attack today. The timing is highly suspicious, suggesting that certain groups opposed to peace in Turkey may be behind it. While the primary suspects are the PKK or DHKP-C, the likelihood of the PKK’s involvement is higher.”

In response to the attack, security has been heightened in the area, and forensic teams are conducting investigations on-site. Authorities are working to identify the attackers and uncover any potential networks linked to them. Updates on the situation will be provided as more information becomes available.
