A forest fire broke out in the Gülnar district of Mersin, Turkey. The fire grew rapidly with the effect of the wind, and it was reported that teams were mobilized for land and air intervention. Along with firefighting crews, 20 sprinklers, 1 aircraft and 3 helicopters support the firefighting. Crews continue to extinguish the flames.
On the final day of the Eid al-Adha holiday, traffic came to a standstill at the Kocaeli crossing of the Northern Marmara Highway as thousands began returning to Istanbul.
Congestion intensified due to occasional accidents and vehicle breakdowns. Gendarmerie and highway crews are working continuously to keep traffic flowing. Aerial footage showed long lines of vehicles stretching along the route.
