VIDEO: Aftermath of powerful flash flood in Istanbul

At least five people were killed after heavy rains triggered flash floods in northwest Turkey.

Three people died and three are still missing in Kirklareli province, near the border with Bulgaria and Greece, after houses were flooded late on Tuesday, local media reported.

A further two people were killed and 31 more injured in Turkey’s largest city Istanbul’s Basaksehir and Kucukcekmece districts, authorities said.

Images showed heavy downpours causing several cars to float in flooded waters of Istanbul’s northern districts.
