A liquefied petroleum gas tank exploded at a five-star Mediterranean hotel on Thursday, killing a Turk and injuring 10 people, including five tourists, private Dogan news agency reported.
The explosion damaged the kitchen and the restaurant of the Kaya Hotel in the resort town of Belek, know to be popular with Israeli, German and Russian tourists, near the city of Antalya.
A butcher in the kitchen was killed, and five other staff members and five tourists, three Germans and two Russians, were injured, Dogan said.
