Today’s protest in the city center has entered an openly tense phase, with incidents spreading to several points across the area. Footage and reports from the scene show that the situation has moved beyond a gathering and is now accompanied by damage and arson.
Protesters spread across several areas of the center
At the height of the protest, some of the protesters dispersed around the city center, creating separate pockets of tension. This has made the situation more unstable and more difficult to control within a single perimeter.
Damage reported at a second-tier bank
Among the most serious episodes reported so far is the damage to a second-tier bank. There is still no additional information on the extent of the damage or on the institutional response to this incident.
Fires in trash bins and plastic benches
In addition to material damage, fires were lit in trash bins at several points. Protesters also gathered plastic benches from a rest area and set them on fire, creating a larger fire in the area.
These episodes show a clear escalation of the situation on the ground, while the full extent of the damage remains unclear.
At this stage, the picture emerging from the city center is that of a tense protest, with material damage and arson at several points.
It remains unclear whether there will be an official account of the incidents and responsibility for the damage caused.
