A massive stingray weighing approximately 120 kilograms was unexpectedly caught off the coast of Akbük Bay of Muğla, Türkiye. Displayed at a local fish shop in the Menteşe market, the fish garnered attention from surprised onlookers. The market price for this extraordinary catch is 10,000 Turkish Liras ($350). Fish vendor Niyazi Çınar mentioned that they are considering sending the fish to Japan due to its remarkable size.
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.
