The Facts

  • After an attack on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) in Ankara on Wednesday, where at least two gunmen opened fire and killed five people, the Turkish military retaliated by targeting sites in Northern Iraq and Northern Syria linked to the Kurdish militant group PKK.

  • No organization has taken responsibility for the attack, which left 22 people injured. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said the two attackers, a man and a woman, had been "neutralized," but asserted that PKK militants most certainly carried out the Ankara attack.
