Turkey has detained 125 individuals suspected of having links to the Islamic State (IS) in nationwide raids across 25 provinces.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced the detentions on the X platform, using the Arabic acronym Daesh for IS. The operation follows recent clashes with jihadists in the northwestern town of Yalova.
