Winter has officially arrived in Türkiye, with residents across the country, including in Istanbul and Ankara, embracing the season's first snowfall, as it drapes the landscape in a pristine blanket of white.

Higher parts of Istanbul experienced the first snow of the season on Nov. 23, following strong south-west winds and heavy rains previously engulfing the metropolis.

A regional court in Istanbul has given the verdict to demolish the building of the Hiranur Foundation, which came to the fore with the allegation of the abuse of a 6-year-old child, on the ground that it is against the zoning legislation.

An Istanbul court revoked an amendment on June 11 for the construction plans of the access roads to Istanbul?s third bridge, which is being built in the northern part of the city. The court?s move may halt the bridge?s progress, as the construction of link roads will lose their legal ground.
