Police undertook simultaneous operations in 16 different localities throughout Istanbul, detaining 13 suspected IS members, including three foreigners, the daily Hurriyet reported.
In Izmir, counterterrorism teams detained at least nine suspects, according to the report.
The report also said that authorities have identified one of the three suicide bombers as Osman Vadinov, a Russian national with Chechen origins.
