The attack occurred hours before Parliament was set to reopen after its three-month summer recess.
Ali Unal / APANKARA, Turkey — A suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in the heart of the Turkish capital, Ankara, on Sunday, while a second assailant was killed in a shootout with police, the interior minister said.
“Our fight against terrorism, their collaborators, the dealers, gangs and organized crime organizations will continue with determination,” he said. Turkey has launched several incursions into northern Syria since 2016 to drive away the Islamic State group and a Kurdish militia group, known by the initials YPG, from the frontier, and controls swaths of territory in the area.
Security camera footage on Sunday showed the vehicle stopping in front of the ministry, with a man exiting it and rushing toward the entrance of the building before blowing himself up. A second man is seen following him.
