A tragic explosion outside the headquarters of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) near Ankara has left several people dead and injured, according to Turkey’s interior minister. The incident, described as a “terrorist attack”, occurred in Kahramankazan, a small town located 40 kilometers north of Ankara.
Footage from the scene showed massive clouds of smoke and a large fire engulfing the site. The blast took place amidst a major trade fair for the defense and aerospace industries in Istanbul, which was recently visited by Ukraine’s top diplomat.
As of now, there is no claim of responsibility for the attack. The incident has raised concerns about the security and safety of the aerospace industry in Turkey, as well as the potential threat of further terrorist attacks in the region.
Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the explosion and working to identify those responsible. Meanwhile, our thoughts are with the victims and their families as they navigate this devastating tragedy.
