According to preliminary reports, a fire started after a blast in the Black Sea port of Samsun in the northern part of Turkey. Samsun Governor Zülkif Dagli noted that the blast occurred at around 11:15 a.m., when a tank with waste oils, stored on a tanker, exploded due to the heat.
Firefighters were dispatched to the port, where the fire broke out, and managed to quickly put out the blaze.
A clip was posted on social media, purportedly from the site of explosion, showing a plume of smoke rising near the cost.
Reports say that the incident caused no casualties.
Samsun, located 420 kilometers north of the capital city Ankara, is one of Turkey's key Black Sea ports.
