A fire that engulfed hundreds of shipping containers at Turkey's Iskenderun Port after massive earthquakes in the region have been extinguished, the defence ministry said on Tuesday, but it was not clear when operations would resume at the port.
The defence ministry said later on Tuesday the fire was put out thanks to efforts by military helicopters and planes after Monday's efforts to douse the flames from offshore failed.
It said it was looking to re-route ships as needed, given the "severe structural damage, leading to a complete stop of all operations until further notice". "It's not yet known how long recovery efforts will take and when the port can undergo a full inspection of the damage." A source from a container broker said the fire most likely originated in a container filled with flammable industrial oil, judging by the flames and smoke.
