The UK Foreign Office has issued updated travel guidance for Turkey in the aftermath of a deadly terror attack.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office issued an alert on its travel advice page: "There has been a terrorist attack on Turkish Aerospace Industries' facilities in Kahramankazan, 40km northwest of central Ankara, with a number of deaths and casualties reported. The security response is ongoing. If you are in the immediate area follow the advice of the local authorities and monitor local media.
Yesterday, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the assailants set off explosives and fired shots at TUSAS, leading to four deaths and multiple injuries. Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed the death of at least two attackers. Erdogan condemned the assault as "heinous". TUSAS designs, manufactures and assembles civilian and military aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles and other defence industry and space systems. These UAVs have been crucial in Turkey gaining an advantage in its battle against Kurdish militants within Turkey and across the border in Iraq.
