**Tragic Incident: Methane Exposure Leads to the Death of 12 Turkish Soldiers in Iraq**

**A hazardous gas accident highlights the dangers faced by military personnel during operations.**


**In a recent operation, 12 Turkish soldiers lost their lives due to methane gas exposure while searching for a fallen comrade in Iraq.**


Twelve Turkish soldiers tragically lost their lives after being exposed to dangerous methane gas while conducting a search operation in Iraq, as reported by the Turkish Ministry of National Defence. The incident occurred during a mission focused on locating the remains of a fellow soldier who was killed in action back in May 2022.

During the operation, which took place on Sunday, at least 19 personnel were affected by the gas emanating from a cave. Immediate medical attention was provided, and those affected were hospitalized. Nonetheless, the condition of several soldiers worsened rapidly, and by Monday, the ministry confirmed the heartbreaking news of 12 fatalities.

This incident underscores the inherent risks that military personnel face while engaged in operations, particularly in challenging terrains where hazardous materials may be encountered. The search for the body of the fallen soldier continues, but the ministry reported that, despite extensive efforts, the remains have yet to be located.
