Claim: Visuals of a nuclear plant explosion in Turkey, following the recent earthquake on 06 February 2023.
Fact-check: Old unrelated videos of explosions shared as nuclear plant explosion in Turkey - FACTLY
Verdict: these visuals are related to an explosion that occurred at a port in beirut, in 2020. the explosion occurred due to detonation of ammonium nitrate stored at the port. these visuals have nothing to do with the recent earthquake in turkey. further, there are no reports of explosion or damage to any nuclear plant in turkey, due to earthquake. hence the claim made in the post is false.
