ANKARA – Shots were fired from vehicle hit window of security cabin at US Embassy in Turkey, but no casualties have been reported.
Several gunshots were fired from a vehicle at the US embassy in Ankara, Turkey, on Monday, CNN Turk reported.
According to the report, the gunshots hit a security cabin window, but no one was hurt.
The attack comes among diplomatic tensions between the US and Turkey, including over the detainment in Turkey of American pastor Andrew Brunson on charges of involvement in the failed 2016 military coup against the Turkish government.
The value of the Turkish lira has plummeted, recently reaching a record low compared to the dollar, as the US has imposed higher tariffs on Turkish aluminum and steel imports.
On Friday, US President Donald Trump vowed to take new steps to free Brunson, asserting that “we haven’t seen the last of it”.
