В Турции на заводе по производству взрывчатых веществ произошел взрыв, в результате которого погибли 12 человек.

This is reported by CNN turk.

According to Balıkesir Governor İsmail Ustaoglu, the likelihood of a terrorist attack or a subsequent explosion has already been ruled out. However, the reasons for the incident remain unclear.

He notes that the explosion occurred in a production area where 15 people were working, rather than in the main building of the plant. Part of the structure collapsed.

Due to the fire that broke out after the explosion, numerous firefighting teams and medical personnel were dispatched to the site.

Justice Minister Yılmaz Tunç announced that an investigation into the explosion has been initiated.

According to local media reports, the factory specialized in the production of ammunition for small arms and had been operational since 2014.
