Turkish police have killed two shooters who attacked a courthouse in Istanbul, in what authorities have labelled a terrorist act.

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X that the shooters were killed in a gun battle after they opened fire on a checkpoint near the Caglayan Courthouse in Istanbul.
The attackers, a man and a woman identified only as EY and PB, were members of the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C) “terrorist” group, he said.
