Tracked vehicles

Locals attempted to stop an excavator used in building a contested mini-hydro power plant in their community.

Pretrial proceedings have been launched into the demolition of an old building in Plovdiv, Bulgaria's second-largest city, the prosecution has said.

A pedestrian overpass collapsed Aug. 7 in Ankara when a truck carrying a bulldozer hit the top of it, although no immediate casualties were reported.

The truck carrying the bulldozer hit the overpass, which includes a restaurant, on Etlik Street near the Gülhane Military Academy of Medicine (GATA).

A number of ambulances and rescue vehicles were deployed to the area.
