Türkiye Detains 4 People over Landslide at Gold Mine that Left at Least 9 Missing

 Authorities on Wednesday detained four people in connection with a massive landslide that engulfed a gold mine in eastern Türkiye, leaving at least nine workers missing, Turkish state media reported. The landslide struck the Anagold Madencilik company's Copler mine in the town of Ilic in Türkiye's mountainous Erzincan province on Tuesday. Video seemingly shot by a worker showed a huge mass of earth rushing down a gully, overrunning everything in its path. The landslide involved a mound of soil extracted from the mine, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said.
