The armed assailants who stormed the Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ) facility in the Kahramankazan district of Ankara, Türkiye, took several employees hostage.

“When I spoke to my brother, he said there were explosions and gunshots inside and that they continued for several minutes. When we spoke to him half an hour later, he said that they had been taken to a safe area by security,” said the relative of one of the hostages.
