A woman is believed to be behind an Istanbul terror attack that killed six people

At least six people have been killed and more than 80 injured after an Istanbul terror attack.

The massive blast happened at 4:20pm local time along one of the city’s popular shopping strips, rocking central Istanbul.

Initial reports suggest the blast is an act of terror, carried out by a woman.

Turkey’s President has addressed his nation, vowing to punish those who are responsible for what he calls the “vile attack”.

There is a heavy police presence around the blast zone, with helicopters circling and a large number of ambulances.

The six people killed include a member of Turkey’s Ministry of Family and Social Services, and his daughter.

Reporting on the attack remains difficult after the city’s criminal court issued a broadcast ban on all visual and audio news within the country.

International leaders are offering their support and condolences.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg tweeted his “deepest condolences” to the Turkish people, adding NATO “stands in solidarity with its ally,” Turkey.

Shocking images from #Istanbul. My thoughts and deepest condolences to all those affected & to the Turkish people. #NATO stands in solidarity with our Ally #Türkiye.

Trump brokers historic peace between Morocco and Algeria; experts debate implications for Middle Eastern relations and global influence.

Donald Trump has once again stunned the world, this time brokering a historic peace agreement between Morocco and Algeria—with the backing of the United Nations. The move has many wondering whether the former U.S. president is reinventing himself as a global peacemaker.

Professor Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Trump managed to secure the deal and what role the UN played in formalizing the agreement. Morocco’s vow to protect Jewish communities and strengthen ties with Israel adds another layer to this surprising diplomatic twist.
