MANAVGAT, Turkey—The death toll from wildfires on Turkey’s southern coast has risen to four and firefighters were battling blazes for a third day on Friday after the evacuation of dozens of villages and some hotels.
More than 60 wildfires have broken out across 17 provinces on Turkey’s Aegean and Mediterranean coasts this week, officials have said. The forestry minister said fires raged on in six provinces, and officials have promised to bring to account anyone found responsible for starting them.
