An unidentified assailant opened fire on the ruling Justice and Development Party's (AK Party) Çukurova district headquarters in Türkiye's southern Adana province Thursday.

The suspect fired 12 shots at the building, using a machine gun, AK Party Adana Chairperson Mehmet Ay told broadcaster, TRT Haber.

Police arrived at the scene of the attack in a short while and detained the suspect, Ay said.

Prosecutors launched an investigation into the incident.

The election office of the Turkish opposition’s Republican People's Party (CHP) was attacked by six unidentified suspects overnight, the party’s Istanbul provincial chair said early Wednesday, marking the second such instance this month.
