This Video Does Not Feature Another Recent Terrorist Attack in Turkey

Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.

The car explosion in Istanbul's Fatih district was determined to be an accident, not a terrorist attack, by Turkish authorities.

Car Explosion in Istanbul's Fatih District

On November 16, police launched an investigation after several explosions started a fire in Istanbul's Fatih neighborhood, causing widespread panic.

On Koca Mustafapasa Avenue, the incident occurred.

The fire quickly grew and spread to four additional cars in a short period of time.

According to investigators, the fire and explosion in the car were caused by unidentified "technical issues," and four other cars and an adjacent building were also affected as a result.

After interviewing the fire crew and investigating the scene, the police concluded that the fire was not the result of terrorism or arson.
