Twelve people were injured, according to a report released by the governor’s office.
Turkish emergency services also deplored three dead and three missing in the province of Kirklareli, in the northwest of the country.

A flooded metro station
The overnight storm partially flooded a metro station in Istanbul and forced the evacuation of dozens of people from a municipal library, according to news reports.
Footage broadcast on TV and social media showed streams sweeping past cars and market stalls.
The rains follow a particularly dry summer which saw water reservoirs in this city of 16 million people fall to their lowest level in nine years.
