Rocket attack on police house in Turkish capital

Guler said the attack took place around 21:30 local time, with assailants launching two rockets at the facade and rear side of the apartment building in Dikmen neighborhood, in the vicinity of the headquarters of Turkish National Police. He said a rocket launcher, an unexploded shell, a bag, and the so-called flag of an illegal leftist organization were found at the scene. The perpetrators of the attack may have fled in a vehicle, he said. "It's a sad incident, but the absence of casualties is a source of relief," he said, adding that a police investigation was underway. "Such attacks were also carried out in the past. Some illegal organizations are seeking ways to incite violence through new illegal acts. We continue to work on this issue," Guler said.
