Minister Memişoğlu stated that the general condition of the wounded is good, with one patient in critical condition receiving intensive care but showing positive signs of recovery.

“The general condition of our wounded is good at the moment. The treatment of our patient, who is in critical condition and is in intensive care, is going well. Their consciousness is clear, and we expect to discharge all of them,” Memişoğlu said. He also expressed condolences to the families of the victims, stating: “I express my condolences to the families of all our martyrs.”

The attack, which occurred last Wednesday, was described by authorities as a “terror” incident. At least five people were killed, and 22 others were injured in the assault on TUSAS headquarters. Among the deceased were four TUSAS employees and the taxi driver who transported the assailants to the facility, as confirmed by Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılma.

The incident has raised concerns about security and the ongoing threat of terrorism in the region, prompting calls for increased measures to protect critical infrastructure. (ILKHA)
