Following the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye a 4-storey building owned by Abuzer Fırat saw its third floor completely collapse, causing the fourth floor to tilt at a 30-degree angle. As heavily damaged structures are being demolished in Adıyaman, local residents were urged for this particular building’s swift demolition, fearing further collapse. Some have already evacuated their homes as a safety measure.

The 2,000-year-old inner harbor of Alexandria Troas in Çanakkale’s Ezine district has once again turned pink, forming a heart shape. Once a major trade hub, the harbor became a lake after losing its sea connection. Its pink color is caused by the microscopic organism dunaliella salina, which thrives in high salinity and warm temperatures. Known as one of the world’s eight pink lakes, the site attracts tourists and social media attention each year.
