[Today’s Prayer] "Turkish defense industry attacked…casualties reported"
Reuters and other news agencies reported that a fatal attack occurred on the Turkiye Aerospace Industries (TUSAS) near the Turkish capital Ankara on the 23rd (local time).
"There was a terrorist attack on the TUSAS facility in Karamankazan, Ankara," Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on social media X (formerly Twitter). "Unfortunately, there are victims and injuries."
"The cause of the explosion and subsequent shooting remains unclear, with some media outlets reporting it was a suicide attack," Reuters reported of the attack targeting the defense company.
"Emergency rescue teams have arrived at the scene," the Turkish Anadolu news agency reported.
TUSAS is one of the most important defense and aviation companies in Turkey. It is working on various projects, including the production of Turkey's first national fighter aircraft (KAAN).
“Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. Give ear, our God, and hear; open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy. (Daniel 9:17-18)
God, there has been an attack from an unknown origin in Turkiye. We do not yet know the exact number, but we have received heartbreaking news of victims and injuries.
God, who hears the prayers and supplications of your servant, answer our prayers at this time.
Shine your light in the midst of the devastated land of Turkiye.
Come quickly in Your mercy upon this land, that there may not be many casualties and that all suffering may cease.
When we rely on Your great compassion, we believe that You hear and answer our supplications and prayers.
God, cause the people of Turkiye to rely on Your compassion! Let the souls of Turkiye who are in fear, seek You alone, and let them come to You in prayer and supplication!
Through this hour, may the multitudes of Turkuye see the light of a saving God!
May they have the grace to encounter the God, who answers all our supplications and prayers, and listens to their groans!
Raise Turkiye up as Your servant people, who trust and rely on You alone!
