An explosion in Beyoğlu turned the area into a disaster zone. The explosion occurred in a ground-floor shop of a three-story building.

Following the incident, fire, health, police, and AFAD teams were quickly dispatched to the scene. Initial investigations suggest the explosion was caused by gas accumulation.

Fortunately, no one was inside the shop at the time of the explosion, preventing a major disaster. Teams conducted search operations in the debris.

The traces of the explosion became visible as daylight broke. Cleanup operations are rapidly continuing.

Istanbul Governor Davut Gül visited the site and stated that the cause of the explosion has not yet been determined. However, there were no casualties or injuries reported.

Damage assessment operations are ongoing in the area. Teams are checking for damage in surrounding buildings as well.
