• Dozens of cargo containers have caught fire in Turkey’s earthquake.

Dozens of cargo containers caught fire for the second day in a row on Tuesday in Turkey’s earthquake-ravaged southern port city of Iskenderun, according to images.

The fire at the Iskenderun international port has been raging since 5:00 p.m. (1400 GMT) Monday, when one of its containers collapsed due to aftershocks from the deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake.

Another video showed failed attempts to put out the fire on Monday night.

The column of smoke in one image resembles a raging tornado, while hundreds of brightly coloured containers have fallen over in another.

Turkish authorities have dispatched a coast guard ship to assist in putting out the fire at the Hatay province port.

Sealand, a division of Maersk container shipping, said in a statement on Tuesday that “significant damage to logistics and transport infrastructure around the Pazarcik, Kahramanmaras, epicentre, including at the Port of Iskenderun” had occurred.
