Heavy fog brings traffic to a halt in Istanbul's Bosporus strait

Heavy fog has halted sea traffic in Istanbul's Bosporus strait between the Black Sea and Anadolu Kavağı, Turkish authority announced Sunday.

The traffic was disrupted due to poor visibility and resumed almost two hours after heavy fog caused disruption early Sunday, Istanbul's Directorate General of Security said.

Istanbul's Bosporus strait is one of the busiest sea routes in the region and the only route between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.
