State-run media say a forest fire along Turkey's Mediterranean coast is approaching ruins of the ancient Greek city of Aspendos, a popular tourist attraction. No casualties are reported.
A first-response government agency based in Istanbul says firefighter aircraft were trying to get the blaze under control. It said it was not clear what caused the fire.
Anatolia news agency said the historic Aspendos theater in the southwestern Antalya province was safe from the fire on Friday, citing Cultural Ministry officials at the theater. It says local officials evacuated several villages in the area as a precaution.
Anatolia says fire fighters cannot tell how big the area destroyed by the fire is because of intense smoke, but estimate it is more than 2,400 acres (1,000 hectares).
