STORYLINE:

Turkish security forces detained 144 undocumented migrants in simultaneous operations conducted across 27 provinces, the country's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on Friday.

Identity checks were conducted on 8,322 people in major metropolitan areas including Istanbul, Gaziantep, Mersin, Adana, and Sanliurfa, resulting in the identification of 144 undocumented migrants, the Turkish minister said on social media platform X, without specifying the time frame of the inspections.

Türkiye faces challenges in managing illegal migration as it serves as a key transit route for migrants attempting to enter European nations.
