The day was dominated by the arrest of singer Haluk Levent in connection with the Ahbap charity investigation. By early afternoon, multiple outlets reported a detention warrant, and by evening, police raided the association's headquarters. The story evolved throughout the day, with new details emerging about financial transfers and the involvement of Levent's stepbrother. Earlier, a tragic pesticide poisoning in Kastamonu killed a couple who ate cherries from a tree, covered widely. International tensions persisted: the US-Iran conflict escalated with strikes and the Strait of Hormuz closure, while Qatar's former emir died. The Ahbap scandal overshadowed other domestic stories, including a forest fire in Kastamonu and Aydın, and the ongoing FETÖ crackdown ahead of the July 15 anniversary.
