ANKARA
Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrey Karlov has been shot dead at an exhibition in 
Turkey’s capital Ankara on Monday evening.
Karlov was delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of an art gallery when an armed assailant opened fire on him and then in the air.
The assailant was ‘neutralized’ during an operation by special forces at the scene, the Contemporary Art Gallery in Ankara’s central Cankaya district.
The envoy was seriously wounded and was taken to Guven hospital in Cankaya immediately.
