Helicopter, plane fighting renewed blaze at Turkey's Iskenderun port

A helicopter and a plane are fighting a renewed blaze at the southern Iskenderun port, Turkey's agriculture ministry said on Wednesday, after the fire was extinguished a day earlier.

Operations at the port were shut down after a fire broke out due to the massive earthquakes that hit the region on Monday, while freight liners diverted vessels to other ports.

The defence ministry had said the fire was extinguished on Tuesday evening.
