Türkiye's Defence Ministry says Infantry Specialist Sergeant Oğuz Şahin died in hospital in Van province, eastern Türkiye, after falling ill while on duty.
Şahin was taken to hospital after becoming unwell during his duties, and the ministry announced his death with condolences to his family. Van, on Türkiye's eastern border, hosts a heavy military presence, and Türkiye's military describes such on-duty deaths as martyrdoms.
The ministry gave no further medical detail, and the announcement is a reminder that not every military loss comes from combat.
