This footage was filmed and produced 8 February 2023.

Video shows firefighters battling a fire at the Port of Iskenderun in Turkey triggered by a 7.8 magnitude earthquake.

Fire crews struggled to access the fire at first due to earthquake damage and nearby containers blocking their way. Military helicopters and planes were eventually deployed to control the fire. Operations at the port have been shut down and major shipping companies have been urged to divert vessels. It's unclear when the port will reopen for inspection.

The earthquake hit near Gaziantep and a second one at 7.7 magnitude followed to the north. Over 22,000 people have died as of February 10th and rescue missions continue.
