Landslide horror in Zonguldak! The apartment whose retaining wall collapsed was evacuated

The retaining wall of an apartment building collapsed due to a landslide that occurred after a downpour in the Çatalağzı town lodgings area in Zonguldak's Kilimli district.

Upon notice, police, AFAD and municipality teams were dispatched to the region. The teams took security measures in the neighborhood and evacuated the apartment as a precaution.

Two parked vehicles under the retaining wall of the apartment building were damaged. The teams set up a security strip and do not allow citizens to enter the area.

Emre Palabaş, one of the residents of the building, told reporters that he was sitting in the living room with the children, when he heard a sound and they thought the house was going to collapse.

Stating that the cars were stuck under the wall, Palabaş said, "There is no one left in the apartment now. The house shook. It was like an earthquake, a bomb exploded." he said.
