Five injured in drive by shooting

At least five people have reportedly been injured, when unidentified gunmen opened fire at a café in Istanbul’s Fatih district, during the evening hours, before fleeing on their motorcycle. Police and emergency services were deployed to the area. It is not currently known as to who was responsible for the attack.

Those operating or residing in Turkey should expect a heightened security presence in Istanbul. Turkey has hosted a series of deadly attacks in the past months, alongside a continued crackdown by the government. Report any suspicious packages, behaviour or activity to the authorities and remain vigilant.
