According to the report, Islamic State militants clashed with police in northwest Turkey on Monday, leaving three police officers and six militants dead, Turkey’s interior minister said. At least eight other police officers and a night guard were wounded.
The shooting occurred in Elmali district in Yalova province, south of Istanbul, as police stormed a house where the militants were hiding. Special forces from neighboring Bursa province were dispatched to reinforce the operation.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said the operation in Yalova was one out of more than 100 simultaneous raids carried out against IS suspects in 15 provinces across the country. The operation in Yalova was carried out with great care because women and children were inside the house where the militants were located. All five women and six children were safely evacuated from the house.
