A tornado strikes a construction site in Turkey’s southern province of Antalya, killing four construction workers and injuring another, local and international reports say. The storm tears apart accommodation containers on-site and hits other structures including a tower crane, according to coverage summaries.
Several outlets identify the incident as occurring late Monday in the Kepez district, with the tornado destroying two living quarters and leaving emergency impacts at the site. ABC News, The Independent, and other outlets report the same core casualty figure and location.
Some reports add broader context. Al-Monitor notes the timing less than two weeks before Antalya hosts a UN climate summit, while Euronews mentions heavy rain and flooding in Istanbul. The Independent also emphasizes that the tornado follows warnings from Turkey’s weather agency about heavy rains.
