The Turkish government said the strikes killed 59 people it described as "terrorists". A Kurdish-led militia in Syria said 12 civilians died in the north and east of the country.

Various videos from the attack earlier on Wednesday show at least two people firing guns around the entrance of Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), which is located some 40km (25 miles) outside the capital.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, in which 22 people were injured.

Turkish defence ministry initially said that 32 targets "belonging to the terrorists were successfully destroyed" in the retaliatory attacks, before increasing the number of targets destroyed to 47.
