Turkey has recorded 82,180 new COVID-19 cases in the space of 24 hours, its highest daily figure of the pandemic, health ministry data showed on Thursday, Reuters reported.

There were 174 deaths related to coronavirus in the same period, the data showed.

In late December, daily cases stood at about 20,000, before a surge in infections due to Omicron.

"Our health workers are at their posts. If it is time for your booster dose, do not yield to tolerable difficulties due to the weather conditions," Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter.

Russian forces have seized control of Kurakhove, a town in Ukraine's Donetsk region, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.
Gaining control over Kurakhove "has significantly hampered the logistics and technical support" of Ukrainian troops, the ministry said.
Kurakhove lies 32 km (20 miles) south of Pokrovsk, an important Ukrainian logistics hub towards which Russia has been advancing for months.
