Eleven students and an instructor were killed and 22 were injured on Tuesday night in a fire that broke out in a girls dormitory in Turkey’s Adana province.
According to preliminary findings the fire was caused by an electrical fault in the building, where 34 female students from low-income families reside, Adana Governor Mahmut Demirtaş told the media.
Television footage showed a blaze rising from the rooftop of a multi-storey building and teams of firefighters working to put it out.
