Possible meteorite event in Iğdır, Turkey

While googling recent events in Turkey, I came across a local news report about a possible meteoric event.

The news text in translation:

A mysterious and perplexing event in Iğdır.

Two unknown objects that fell from the sky in Iğdır, the easternmost part of Turkey, excited locals. Those who watched this amateur shooting could not hide their astonishment.

Two different objects appear in the recorded images and it is striking that both of them look like balls of fires. The person who filmed the footage is heard to say “They are going side by side on the sky. Is it aliens or are meteorites falling there? This is the first time that I witness such a thing in my life” and this statement implies the seriousness of the event for the local community.

Reminding the meteorites that recently fell to the Village of Sarıçiçek, Bingöl, no explanation has yet been made by authorities about the event and no investigation has been started.

Translation of the dialog between the two guys:

Man: Look, look, look!
Shooter (possibly): Alaaddin, look, it’s going in the sky and burning, my God!
Man: Look, man! Look at the sky, there are two of them.
Shooter: So, is it aliens or are meteorites falling there?
Man: One of them landed on the ground.
Shooter: Alaaddin, look, one of them hit the ground and it now sets that point on fire. [Silence] And it’s burning terribly, Alaaddin. At this moment, meteorites are falling from the sky in Kars. They are hitting the ground. Oh my God! These are meteorites, I swear. [Silence] This is the first time that I see such a thing. Look, how it’s burning, Alaaddin.

The shooter mentions the city of Kars about the location although the news report says it happened in Iğdır. These are neighboring cities and perhaps the event occurred near the border.

I couldn't find any other news report about the event and I don't think that it will be taken seriously. If I come across any further information or explanation about it, I'll share it here.

There was a similar event in the same city, Iğdır, in 2014: _https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf12QrVUTYs

I'm no expert - but looks like it.

Yes, itellsya, the photos of the same event in the same report. Good idea to also add them here, thank you.

Oh, the news report is dated April 14, 2016, and I don't think that the report refers to a past (earlier) event.
