Ankara, Aug 13 (TIWN) Flash floods that hit three provinces in Turkey's Black Sea region have killed at least 27 people, the country's disaster management authority said on Friday.

The agency said crews are still searching for a woman who was reported missing in Bartin province. The private DHA news agency reported, however, that 12-year-old twins and their grandparents are also missing in the town of Bozkurt, in Kastamonu, after their building collapsed. Floodwaters inundated much of the town and a second building was also severely damaged.
