Istanbul, Turkey (AHN) - A gigantic fire has engulfed part of Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport, injuring three people but not causing major air traffic delays, Turkish officials said.

Istanbul's deputy governor Fikret Kasapogru told Turkey’s NTV that fire which broke out in the cargo section of country’s largest airport was believed to be caused by miswiring of electrical systems.

A transport ministry official said that the situation was under control and that flights would continue.

Thousands of people were forced to flee after the blaze broke out at 3:30 p.m. (1230 GMT). A witness told NTV that it was unclear whether anyone remained in the cargo area.
