Turkish opposition party reports another attack on Istanbul offices

The election office of the Turkish opposition’s Republican People’s Party (CHP) was attacked by six unidentified suspects overnight, the party’s Istanbul provincial chair said early Wednesday, marking the second such instance this month.

The party’s representative bureau in Istanbul’s Ataşehir district was vandalized by a group who tore apart party flags and painted slogans over the windows and posters of leader and presidential runner Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, while two other suspects fired three shots, likely blank cartridges, into the air, Canan Kaftancıoğlu said in a tweet with pictures from the scene.
