A police operation in Yalova province, Turkey, targeting suspected Islamic State militants resulted in a deadly clash. Three police officers and six militants were killed, while at least eight other officers and a night guard sustained injuries. The operation involved storming a house where militants were reportedly hiding, leading to an exchange of gunfire. Authorities safely evacuated five women and six children from the premises. This raid was part of a larger, nationwide operation against IS suspects, following recent detentions of individuals allegedly planning holiday attacks.
