Antalya tornado kills four construction workers

A powerful localized tornado struck a construction site in the Kepez district of Antalya, Turkey, late Monday night. The tornado destroyed two containers used as living quarters for workers, resulting in the deaths of four individuals and injuring one other.

Antalya Governor Hulusi Şahin described the event as a “very unusual natural phenomenon,” noting that the tornado was highly localized and did not affect other parts of the city despite heavy rain warnings. The storm also caused a construction crane to topple, though no injuries were reported from that specific incident.

According to official reports, the deceased included three Syrian nationals and one Turkish citizen. An investigation has been launched by the Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, with the construction owner and site managers being questioned as part of the legal process.
