Turkish soldiers and rescue teams search for victims at the site of a rock formation that collapsed due to a landslide triggered by heavy rains in the Cappadocia district of Nevsehir. (AFP pic)ISTANBUL: A landslide triggered by heavy rainfall caused a rock spire to collapse in Turkey's Unesco World Heritage-listed Cappadocia region on Thursday, killing at least two people, officials said.
Turkey's Cappadocia region, a magnet for tourists from around the world, is home to cone-shaped rock formations known as "fairy chimneys", created by ancient volcanic activity.
"According to initial findings, two people were killed and five others injured in the incident," justice minister Akin Gurlek said on X.
