Severe weather wave in Turkey and an unusual accident in Iraq

Stormy weather hit various regions in Turkey during the day (May 14, 2026), with strong winds causing significant damage. According to reports from TRT Haber, a Turkish state news network, trees collapsed in the city of Çankaya in Ankara as a result of the winds, leading to heavy damage to two vehicles. Similar reports also came from Sputnik Türkiye, a Russian news agency operating in Turkey, which confirmed that the falling of trees in Ankara caused material damage.

Simultaneously, DoğruHaber, a conservative-oriented media outlet, reported that in the city of Uşak, the intensity of the winds was so strong that "roofs of certain houses flew off" and damage was caused to two additional vehicles. As of now, there have been no reports of casualties in these events in Turkey.

In another arena, Sputnik Türkiye reported an unusual incident in northern Iraq, in the Sulaymaniyah province. Following a collision between two vehicles on the Kara-Dag road, a truck carrying live cargo overturned, and thousands of chicks were scattered on the road. The event drew attention due to the unusual circumstances of the accident, which caused traffic disruptions.
