After the terrorist attack in Ankara, where five people died and 22 others were injured, there have been reactions from the international community, including the United States and Russia.

In a press conference, White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby expressed the solidarity of the United States with the victims of the attack. "Our hearts go out to the victims of this horrific terrorist attack in Ankara," Kirby said, adding that Turkish authorities are investigating the incident as a possible terrorist attack.

"We still don't know the motive or who exactly is behind this act of violence, but we strongly condemn this despicable act," Kirby concluded.

Russian President Vladimir Putin also reacted to the terrorist attack ahead of a planned meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Putin condemned the act and expressed his condolences to the Turkish people. "I express my condolences to Turkey because of this terrorist attack," Putin declared.

While the Minister of the Interior of Turkey, Ali Yerlikaya, has given details about the terrorist attack that happened in Ankara, where five people lost their lives and 22 others were injured. During a press statement, Yerlikaya emphasized that the perpetrators of the attack may be part of the PKK terrorist organization, underlining that investigations are still ongoing.

In his speech, the minister added: "Of the wounded, seven of them are members of the special forces. We are confident that they will recover and be reunited with their families. This terrible act once again shows the true face of terrorism and strengthens us in the fight against this wound."

Turkish authorities have been mobilized to track down the perpetrators and take additional security measures. Terrorism has been one of the main challenges for Turkey, which has faced similar attacks from various groups in recent years.

The Turkish authorities have reiterated their commitment to fight terrorism resolutely and to protect the country's citizens from threats.
