The last of 174 people stranded in cable cars high above a mountain in southern Turkey have been brought to safety nearly 23 hours after one pod hit a pole and burst open, killing one person and injuring seven others.

Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced the successful completion of the rescue operation on X on Saturday afternoon.
