The explosion happened during a gendarmerie operation into a building under construction, which was allegedly being used as a illegal fuel oil warehouse in the Tanışma village of Hatay's Altınözü district. Anatolia News Agency said that the warehouse owner burned down the building, refusing to hand down the fuel oil.
