Five people, including three police officers, were wounded in a shooting in front of a courthouse in Istanbul on Tuesday, Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said, adding the two shooters had been killed in the gun battle.
The two shooters - a woman and man - opened fire at a police checkpoint in front of the Caglayan court house around 8:46 a.m., Yerlikaya said on the social media platform X, without elaborating.
He later said the shooting attack was a terror attack by the leftist terror group DHKP-C. Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc said prosecutors had launched an investigation into the attack. (Reuters)
Prosecutors have opened an investigation into the head of Turkey's main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) on charges of threatening and insulting Istanbul's chief prosecutor, adding to a broad crackdown on the opposition.
Turkey will press European allies which plan to sharply ramp up their defence spending to ease restrictions that now require most of that money to be spent in the EU, Defence Minister Yasar Guler told Reuters on Wednesday ahead of a NATO meeting.
A second round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine ended barely an hour after they began in Istanbul on Monday, Turkish officials said, a day after a massive Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's nuclear-capable strategic bombers.
