ANKARA: The Saudi Embassy in Turkiye expressed the Kingdom’s condemnation of the terror attack that targeted a defense company in Ankara, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday.
The embassy reiterated the Kingdom’s firm rejection of terrorism and extremism in all its forms.
It also offered its deepest condolences and sincere sympathies to the victims’ families, the Turkish government and the people of Turkiye, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
Earlier on Wednesday, attackers set off explosives and opened fire at Turkiye’s state-run aerospace and defense company TUSAS, killing five people and wounding more than a dozen, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said.
Two of the attackers — a man and a woman — were killed, he added.
Yerlikaya said that the militant Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, was suspected of being behind the attack but cautioned that the process of identifying the assailants continued.
