Turkey's interior minister reported deaths and injuries after a "terrorist attack" at Turkish Aerospace Industries facilities in the capital Ankara on Wednesday.

Turkey continued its strikes in Syria and Iraq for a second day following the terrorist attack on a defense company in Ankara, in what Turkey said were targeted hits on PKK terrorist locations.

Turkey launched airstrikes against what it said were sites linked to a Kurdish separatist group in Iraq and Syria, hours after an armed assault on a defense company killed five people in Ankara.

The attack hit Turkish Aerospace Industries, which makes fighter jets and other equipment for NATO’s second-largest military after the U.S.

No group immediately claimed responsibility. Turkey’s interior minister said it was “most likely carried out” by the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK.

Turkey has accused Kurdish terrorists affiliated with the PKK of hitting a defense company in Ankara when two assailants attacked with assault rifles and explosives.

Turkey accused the separatist Kurdish group PKK of being behind a deadly attack on a state-owned defense manufacturer near Ankara.

Footage broadcast on Turkish television and shared on social media Oct. 23 showed an attack on an aerospace company's headquarters near the capital, Ankara.

Turkey said the strikes in Iraq and Syria targeted a Kurdish separatist group a day after an unclaimed attack on a defense contractor.
