Five dead and 44 injured in a forest fire in southeastern Turkey

Five people died and 44 were injured after forest fires swept through southeastern Turkey on the night of June 20-21.
"Five people died and 44 were injured, 10 of them seriously, when fires engulfed two areas near the southeastern city of Mardin," Health Minister Fahrettin Koca wrote on the H.
Pictures posted on social media showed a huge fire lighting up the night sky and huge clouds of smoke rising into the air.
Koca reported that four emergency teams and 35 ambulances were sent to the scene of the accident.
Separately, Interior Minister Ali Erlikaya said the fire started late on June 20 in an area about 30 km south of Diyarbakır and spread quickly due to strong winds, affecting 5 villages.
"Unfortunately, three citizens from the Diyarbekir region and two from the Mardin region lost their lives," Erlikaya wrote in H. | BGNES
