Flash floods in northern Turkey kill four, 11 missing

Four people were killed in flash floods in Turkey’s northern Black Sea region and 11 others are missing, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu said on Sunday.

Footage from the northern province of Giresun showed floodwaters caused by unusually heavy rainfall dragging buildings and vehicles along a road, leaving them buried in mud.

Speaking to reporters in Giresun, Soylu said search and rescue operations were underway to find the missing. One of those killed was a soldier, he said.
