Announcing the arrests on social media, Minister Yerlikaya revealed details of "Operation Bozdoğan-11," a coordinated effort targeting ISIS cells within Sakarya. The operation resulted in the apprehension of 33 suspects.
Yerlikaya also reported the seizure of various incriminating materials, including four unlicensed pistols, two unlicensed rifles, a significant amount of foreign currency, logistical supplies, banned publications, and ISIS organizational documents.
