President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan visited the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) for the Peace and Freedom Day and to inaugurate the New Ercan Airport. Arriving from his Gulf tour, he was welcomed in an official ceremony by TRNC President Ersin Tatar. Erdoğan, the first leader to land at the new airport, is also set to attend a bilateral meeting with President Tatar, lay a wreath at the Atatürk Monument, and join the Peace and Freedom Day ceremonies. His delegation includes top officials from the Turkish government and the People’s Alliance.
Seven prisons across France were targeted in overnight attacks, with vehicles set ablaze and a prison gate hit by automatic gunfire. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said the attacks aimed to intimidate inmates and disrupt the government’s anti-drug efforts. No group has claimed responsibility. Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau vowed a “ruthless” response, while prison unions called the incidents “extremely serious” and demanded urgent action. Facilities in Toulon, Marseille, Nîmes, and near Paris were among those attacked.
