Amidst snowfall in Bilecik, Türkiye, yesterday, the high-altitude villages in the region drew crowds of delighted citizens. Snow depths reached up to 5 centimeters in some areas, painting picturesque scenes reminiscent of postcards. A drone captured the stunning aerial view of the newly blanketed landscape after the season’s first snowfall.
The forest fire that began in İzmir’s Aliağa district and spread to Foça has been brought under control after intense aerial and ground efforts. A second fire in Bozköy, which started near industrial facilities, also threatened residential areas, prompting evacuations.
Six aircraft, five helicopters, and dozens of land vehicles responded. The fire reportedly began from burning garbage, and one suspect has been detained. Cooling operations continue in the region.
