A powerful explosion occurred at an explosives factory in the Turkish province of Balikesir, leading to at least 12 fatalities and three injuries, as reported by Governor Ismail Ustaoglu. The blast took place around 8:25 am local time on Tuesday in the Karesi district, according to CNN Turk.
Ustaoglu stated that one of the factory complex's buildings partially collapsed due to the explosion, although the other structures remained intact. He emphasized, "I would like to stress that there was no sabotage. We assume that there was a technical malfunction, but, of course, it will all become clear after a detailed investigation.”
Türkiye’s Center for Combating Disinformation urged the public to rely solely on official sources for information regarding the incident and advised against believing “unfounded allegations.”
The head of a nearby settlement reported to CNN Turk that the force of the explosion was so significant that it was felt in the village.
Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc announced the initiation of an investigation, which will be conducted by four public prosecutors under the coordination of a deputy chief prosecutor.
The facility involved specializes in manufacturing munitions for light weapons intended for both domestic and international markets and has been operational since 2014, as per Turkish media reports.
