Turkey, wildfires in Hatay

Turkey believes PKK is behind fires near residential areas

At least two suspects have been arrested by the latest wildfires that have spread to residential areas in southern Turkey, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate, damaging 20 houses and 5 cars and leaving 10 injured. Everything indicates that the fires, which have affected a total of 4 provinces, have been arson, and the Ministry of the Interior is investigating whether the terrorist group PKK – which has claimed before this type of actions – is behind them.
