Violent clashes between protesters and police forces are continuing at high intensity on the main boulevard, in front of the Prime Minister’s Office building.

Most recently, the situation has escalated further after trees inside the perimeter of the protective fence of the Prime Minister’s Office caught fire.

The flames and smoke are spreading quickly, while protesters continue to hold their ground and confront police officers.

The atmosphere at the scene remains very tense, as fire engines are expected to intervene to put out the flames.
