Local media in Turkey have reported that the bodies of eight migrants were discovered in a border area near Iran.
According to the Van Haber news agency, the bodies were found on Saturday morning, November 7, in the Ozalp district of Van province, approximately three kilometers from the Iranian border. Sources reported that the bodies had been abandoned near a stream during the night.
The official identities and causes of death have not yet been released. However, video footage shared on social media shows Afghan nationals filming the bodies, claiming that all the victims were migrants from Afghanistan.
Van Haber reported that the socks of the deceased had been removed and their valuable personal belongings were stolen. Passengers on a school bus near the Dagistan stream first spotted the bodies and alerted local authorities.
Initial speculations suggest poisoning or hypothermia as possible causes of death, though neither claim has been confirmed. Forensic examinations are underway to determine the exact cause of death.
