In early July 2026 a gas explosion in an apartment building in Çorlu killed two people. Less than a month later, a gas cylinder ignited in the kitchen of a house in the Balıklı neighbourhood of Mesudiye district, Ordu Province, while the homeowner, Adnan K., was cooking. The blast injured five residents – the homeowner and four neighbours (Yakup K., Erol A., Kamil A. and Ferda K.) – causing facial and bodily injuries. First‑aid teams treated them on site and they were taken to hospital. Mayor Cengiz Koçyiğit visited the victims and expressed condolences. The gendarmerie opened an investigation. These incidents highlight a series of gas‑related accidents occurring in different Turkish locales within a short period.
