⌨The day maintained strong editorial focus on the Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul Provincial Presidency, which remained under police blockade. This continued the previous day's events regarding the announced protest ban and trustee appointment, with further police intervention and detentions reported in the morning.
A major, distinct development in the morning was an armed attack on a police station in İzmir, resulting in the deaths of two police officers. This incident quickly garnered widespread media attention, with the attacker's apprehension, initial statements from the President, and warnings to broadcasters.
In the afternoon and evening, the CHP situation intensified as Gürsel Tekin, the designated trustee, entered the headquarters under police escort. President Erdoğan later stated that the state would not allow the disruption of public order or defiance of courts by the CHP, implicitly addressing the ongoing internal party turmoil. Separately, the increase in the overseas exit fee was a notable economic update.
