Authorities in Turkey have detained four individuals following a devastating landslide at a gold mine in the country's eastern region. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has left at least nine workers missing, according to reports from Turkish state media.
The landslide took place at the Anagold Madencilik company's Copler mine in the town of Ilic, located in the mountainous Erzincan province. A video captured by a worker shows a massive amount of earth engulfing the site, sweeping away everything in its path. The landslide was triggered by a mound of soil extracted during mining operations, as confirmed by Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya.
