Turkey Wildfires Kill 2 As ‘Children Of Fire’ Claims Arson In 6 Cities, PKK Links Spark Fears
Turkey is battling deadly wildfires across multiple provinces, with two fatalities confirmed and over 200 homes destroyed.
The blazes, burning for seven straight days, have taken a sinister turn after a group calling itself “Children of Fire” claimed responsibility for coordinated arson attacks in six cities.
The group, allegedly linked to the banned Kurdish militant organization PKK, says it started the fires as part of a political campaign.
The PKK has not commented on the claim.
Firefighting operations continue near major cities like Izmir, Antalya, and Istanbul, with support from helicopters and aircraft.
Roads near popular resort town Çeşme have been closed, and hundreds have been evacuated.
As emergency services struggle to contain the flames, Turkey now faces a national security scare amid environmental devastation.
The interior ministry has launched investigations into the arson claims while warning that further attacks may be imminent as the dry summer season continues.

At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio, Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan delivered a chilling warning: Israel’s unchecked aggression could spiral into global instability. Fidan accused Tel Aviv of reversing decades of development through its war in Gaza and said multilateral institutions are now facing a legitimacy crisis.
He called on the international community to act before it’s too late. His warning came amid growing BRICS concerns over AI weaponization, global peace, and economic fairness. Fidan alleged that Israel has used artificial intelligence as a tool of warfare, fueling unrest from Gaza to Yemen. With over 57,000 dead in Gaza and rising tensions across Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, BRICS leaders are urging urgent reforms. The summit, already focused on AI governance and peacekeeping, now confronts the fallout of Israel’s regional ambitions and the West’s blind eye.

In a dramatic escalation of Turkey’s political crackdown, three more opposition mayors — Abdurrahman Tutdere of Adiyaman, Zeydan Karalar of Adana, and Muhittin Bocek of Antalya — have been arrested in sweeping early-morning raids. All are members of the main opposition party, CHP, which has faced a wave of detentions following Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu’s imprisonment in March. The mayors are accused of bribery, bid-rigging, and organized crime, though exact charges remain undisclosed. The arrests come amid mounting criticism of President Erdogan’s government, with critics claiming the detentions are politically motivated attempts to weaken the CHP ahead of future elections. Imamoglu, now jailed, has since been nominated as the CHP’s presidential candidate, and his arrest sparked Turkey’s largest protests in a decade. Observers warn of further instability if the crackdown continues.

During his visit to Saudi Arabia, President Trump met with Syria’s new leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, marking the first such meeting in 25 years. Trump urged Syria to join the Abraham Accords with Israel, expel foreign militants, and take control of ISIS camps run by Kurdish forces. In return, Trump announced the lifting of crippling U.S. sanctions, offering Syria a chance at economic recovery. The Syrian foreign ministry hailed the meeting as "historic," though the normalization with Israel was not addressed. Crowds in Damascus celebrated the U.S. decision, though the future remains uncertain.

Russia has revealed that Washington has “postponed” a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.–Russia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washington’s intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The “irritant removal” dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?
