Nine people have been killed after an oxygen ventilator exploded at a hospital treating coronavirus patients in southern Turkey, officials say.
The blast caused a fire in the intensive care unit of the private Sanko University Hospital in Gaziantep, the local governor's office said.
At least one of the patients died while being transferred to another hospital.
Turkey has recorded nearly two million coronavirus cases and 17,610 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
No injuries were reported in relation to the fire, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning and was quickly put out.
The victims were aged between 56 and 85, the hospital said in a statement.
An investigation is under way to determine the cause of the explosion.

Cause: Covid. End of story.
Probably still counted as COVID deaths.
Trumps fault he sent the machines, wait its comming
Explosions: Another life threatening and in this case tragic symptom of Covid.
Kind of late for a Thanksgiving joke.
Don’t scoff. I have seen it happen in Vegas. One woman came in on an electric scooter with oxygen. She turned off the oxygen and moved from the scooter to the seat in front of the slot machine.....and lit up. LOL
The math works out to .8% death rate.
My doctor said he would take that for most diseases anytime. Of course he is a realist with proper reasoning skills.
So did they have COVID before or after the explosion?
To kill the virus kill the host. Something, the Chinq’s learned early.
This statement was in the story. I simply did the math. Although, to be more precise, it works out to .88%, not .8% as I said.
