Turkish Football Federation headquarters targeted in gun attack

The headquarters of the Turkish Football Federation in Istanbul was targeted in a gun attack by unidentified assailants on Thursday.

The ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) spokesperson Ömer Çelik announced the news during a routine briefing with reporters, saying he had spoken with TFF chief Mehmet Büyükekşi by phone and wished him well.

The private Demirören News Agency (DHA) said seven bullets hit the building during a meeting of the federation's board.

The assailants escaped in a waiting vehicle before the security forces arrived.

"The police will reveal all the details later," Çelik said.
