Second fireworks explosion in a week kills police in Turkey
Thursday's blast followed a massive fireworks explosion at the same factory last week in the northwest.
A second fireworks-related incident in less than a week has led to the deaths of Turkish military police today.
On Thursday, a truck carrying fireworks from a factory in the northwest exploded, killing three Turkish military police. The truck was on its way to a controlled demolition site in the Sakarya province. Eleven other military police members were wounded, The Associated Press reported.
Last Friday, a massive explosion at the same factory resulted in seven deaths and more than 120 injuries, also according to The Associated Press.
The incident today reportedly occurred when the fireworks were being unloaded.
