In Turkey, a person was injured when lightning struck an airport. The portal HavaSosyalMedya writes about this.
“Before the departure of the Rize-Artvin - Istanbul flight, lightning struck the airport when the plane door was about to close to allow the take-off process to begin. As a result of a lightning strike, the on-board operator of the aircraft lost consciousness and fell,” the report says.
Due to ongoing lightning strikes, the airport has temporarily postponed aircraft takeoffs and landings and all operations on the runway. The injured man was hospitalized.
