Fires in southeastern Turkey have killed at least five people and injured dozens more, according to the country's health minister.

"Five people died and 44 were injured, 10 seriously," when the fire engulfed two areas between the cities of Diyarbakir and Mardin, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca told the "X" social network. 

Koca expressed his condolences to the victims of the fires.

"Unfortunately, three citizens of the Diyarbakir area and two in the Mardin area lost their lives", he said, adding that emergency teams along with 35 ambulances were sent to deal with the situation.

Turkey's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said the fire broke out in noise in the rural district of Koksalan in Diyarbakir province around 10:15 p.m. 

Yerlikaya said the fire was fueled by strong winds and spread to other neighborhoods in Mardin./CNA
