Turkish Bomb Hurts

ANKARA -- Six tourists and four Turks were hurt when two bombs exploded in a tea garden in the Turkish Mediterranean resort of Fethiye, officials said Wednesday. "The bombs were full of small shot and exploded at around 10:30 last night," an official from Fethiye local administration said by telephone. A British Embassy official in Ankara said three Britons were hurt in the blast as well as two Germans and an Austrian. Hospital staff said none of the injuries were serious. There have been more than 10 bomb attacks on tourist areas and municipal buildings in Turkey in past months. In an attack in April, two tourists were killed and at least 15 injured in a bomb blast in Istanbul's bazaar.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
