Five workers have been killed by a huge blast at a rocket and explosives factory in Turkey, officials say.
It happened early on Saturday morning at the state-owned MKE Rocket and Explosives Factory, 40km (25 miles) east of the capital Ankara.
Several others were injured by the blast, which state TV said shattered windows in nearby homes and shops.
Officials said the explosion was caused by an incident in the factory's dynamite department.
Regional governor Vahap Sahin said that no other workers or staff remained trapped in the rubble, and state media reported that wounded employees had been transferred to local hospitals. Several are said to be in a critical condition.
