Two shooters open fired at the U.S. Consulate in Istanbul on Monday. No one was hurt since the two attackers took off after policemen counterattacked them. The consulate building is located within the Sariyer district in Istanbul. Attackers were allegedly a man and a woman, but authorities cannot confirm it at the moment, according to Reuters

The gunfire occurred right after a bomb attack in Istanbul early Monday. The bombing happened at a police station causing a collapse of some areas of the three-story building, leaving five police officers and two civilians hurt. Authorities have not confirmed whether these two attacks are connected, International Business Times reported. 

Turkey is in a midst of attacks between Turkey's security forces and rebels who are part of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, since the country has declared its more active role against Islamic State terrorists.  

Last month, Turkey launched aerial strikes towards locations in Syria and let other United States alliances use their bases. This decision was the result of an IS bombing that killed 32 people and after IS militants open-fired across the border at Turkish soldiers killing one soldier, Daily Mail UK reported. 

The United States military has just declared the arrival of six F-16 fighter jets at the Incirlik Air Base in Turkey to aid them in combating Islamic State terrorists.
