At least one person has been killed in a gas explosion at a five-star hotel in a Turkish holiday resort.
The victim was a butcher working in the hotel's kitchens.
Ten other people, including five staff and five tourists, were injured. Three of the tourists were German and two were Russians.
The blast occurred in the early hours of the morning at the Kaya Hotel in Belek in the popular holiday area of Antalya.
Belek is popular with German, Israeli and Russian tourists.
It was reported that workers had only replaced a giant liquefied petroleum gas tank at the hotel a few days ago.
