Libya condemns Turkey attack

Libya has issued a forceful condemnation of the deadly terrorist attack on a Turkish state-run aerospace and defence company, calling it a dangerous escalation that threatens global security.

The attack, which unfolded earlier today at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAS), involved explosives and gunfire, leaving five people dead and more than a dozen wounded, according to Turkish officials.

Libya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation expressed “deep solidarity” with the Turkish government and its people, declaring the assault a grave threat to regional and international stability.

“Targeting vital facilities and strategic industries represents a dangerous escalation that only serves parties seeking to destabilise global security and peace,” the Ministry said in a statement.

The attack on TUSAS, a prominent player in Turkey’s defence sector, has sent shockwaves through the region, raising concerns about the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to terrorism.

Libya urged the international community to intensify efforts to combat terrorism and bring those responsible for the attack to justice. The Ministry also stressed the importance of safeguarding vital infrastructure and defence industries as a “fundamental pillar of national and international security.”
