12 people killed in ammunition factory blast in northwest Turkey
A blast has ripped through an explosives factory in northwest Turkey, killing 12 people and injuring four, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya says, adding that an investigation had been launched.
CNN Turk broadcast photographs showing a fireball and smoke rising from the factory building at the time of the blast, while subsequent video showed the mangled metal framework of the building destroyed in the blast.
The explosion occurred at a factory in the village of Kavakli in Balikesir province and CNN Turk cited the local governor as saying there was no suspicion of sabotage.
Many fire crews were sent to deal with the blaze and health and security units were dispatched to the area while an investigation was launched, the government's communications directorate said.
