The day was dominated by a police operation against the CHP-run Çankaya Municipality, which began in the early hours and escalated throughout the day. By morning, multiple detentions were reported, and by afternoon, Mayor Hüseyin Can Güner was among 36 suspects taken into custody on corruption charges. Pro-government outlets framed it as a graft probe, while opposition sources and Ankara Mayor Mansur Yavaş condemned the move. The raid overshadowed other stories, including the death of poet Ahmet Telli, a flag desecration arrest in Kağıthane, and a wildfire in Manisa. CHP infighting continued, with speculation about a new party and Kılıçdaroğlu's presidential candidate. International coverage included Erdoğan's Srebrenica message and Iran's revenge vow.
