CloseAerial footage showed dense, black smoke billowing from a burning port in southern Turkey on Thursday, after it reignited again.

The blaze at Iskenderun - one of two main container ports on Turkey's Mediterranean southern coast - was caused by Monday's devastating earthquakes.

The BBC witnessed several planes trying to put out the flames on Thursday morning, a day after authorities said the fire had been extinguished.

All operations were shut down at the port following the quakes and major shipping firms were forced to divert their vessels to other terminals in the region.
