Military Times: Shots were fired from a moving car at the U.S. Embassy in Turkey before dawn Monday, an attack that came during heightened tensions between the two NATO allies. Officials said two people with criminal records were detained.
There were no casualties in the fleeting attack, in which three of the six bullets fired hit the embassy gate and a reinforced window in the building in Ankara.
"We can confirm a security incident took place at the U.S. Embassy early this morning. We have no reports of any injuries and we are investigating," embassy spokesman David Gainer said. He thanked Turkish police for their "rapid response."
