At least six people were killed and 52 others injured as a result of an unusual storm that hit Turkey yesterday and today (Tuesday).
This was reported by CNN, which relied on the Turkish news agency Anadolu.
The powerful storm hit large areas of the country, including Istanbul, which along with its suburbs is home to about 16 million people, where four of the six victims were killed.
The damage caused by the strong winds was enormous.
Trees were uprooted, trucks overturned, roofs of many houses were blown up, mosque towers collapsed and an iconic clock tower collapsed.
According to the Turkish Meteorological Service, the winds in the storm reached a speed of 130 km / h (80 miles per hour), in what appears to be the most powerful storm to hit Turkey in recent years.
