Turkey Says Six IS Militants Killed, Seven Police Wounded in Overnight Counter-Terror Raid

Turkish security forces killed six suspected Islamic State militants and wounded seven police officers during an overnight counter-terror operation in Yalova province in northwest Turkey, authorities said.

The raid followed clashes between security personnel and suspected IS members, prompting special-operations police and gendarmerie units to seal off the area and continue search-and-sweep operations through the night.

Officials said the operation was launched amid heightened security after recent detentions of Islamic State suspects accused of plotting attacks during holiday celebrations. Authorities described the raid as part of Turkey’s broader effort to dismantle sleeper cells and prevent potential mass-casualty attacks.

The wounded police officers were taken to hospital, while security forces maintained tight control over the area as investigations continued. Turkey has intensified counter-terror measures nationwide in recent months, citing ongoing threats from extremist groups.
