"Two citizens have been rescued by a Turkish Air Force helicopter. The two people have been taken to emergency services in Mersin," the army said.
Turkish soldiers often participate in search-and-rescue operations.
The troops have saved many Syrian refugees from drowning in the Aegean, or from freezing while trying to cross Turkey's southern border.
