A sudden and intense hailstorm struck the eastern province of Kars during the evening hours, covering the area with a white blanket within a short time. The heavy hail significantly reduced visibility and caused disruptions in traffic.
Many drivers pulled over to the roadside to protect their vehicles from possible hail damage. Others sought shelter at gas stations and waited for the storm to weaken before continuing their journeys.
Strong winds further complicated driving conditions, making it difficult for motorists to proceed safely. Authorities urged residents to remain cautious and avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.
