The Bangladeshi naval ship which was damaged by the explosion at Lebanon's Beirut Port earlier this month, will be restored by Turkey.
"BNS BIJOY of the Bangladesh Navy, which was damaged in the Beirut explosion, is being towed to Turkey by TCG İNEBOLU. The necessary repairs to BNS BIJOY will be carried out at the facilities of the Turkish Navy," the National Defense Ministry of Turkey said Thursday in a Twitter post, reports Anadolu Agency.
More than 170 people were killed and over 6,000 others injured as a powerful explosion rocked Beirut on Aug. 4 after a neglected stockpile of 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in a warehouse ignited.
