阿塞拜疆，19人在教科文組織遺址被樹枝砸傷

Azerbaijan’s emergency service says 19 tourists visiting one of UNESCO’s newest World Heritage sites have been injured after strong winds knocked down a massive branch from a nearly 500-year-old Oriental Plane tree.

阿塞拜疆緊急服務(wù)部門說，19名游客在參觀聯(lián)合國教科文組織最新的世界遺產(chǎn)之一時受傷，一棵有將近500年歷史的東方梧桐樹的大樹枝被強風(fēng)吹斷。

It says the accident took place Sunday at the Khan’s Palace in the historic city of Sheki, located on the ancient Silk Road that passes through the Caucasus Mountains.

報道稱，星期天，事故發(fā)生在歷史名城舍基的汗宮，此處位于穿越高加索山脈的古絲綢之路上。

The agency says a branch measuring about 50 centimeters (nearly 20 inches) in diameter fell on a group of tourists, leaving at least four people in critical condition. Officials say the tourists included two Russians, five Syrians and 12 Azeri citizens.
