10 people were killed in a powerful explosion at a factory in Turkey.
An accident at a metallurgical plant in Izmir province occurred during liquid steel casting: an overhead crane collapsed directly into the furnace, leading to an explosion and fire.
10 people were killed and another 15 were injured. At least eight people remain trapped under the rubble as search and rescue efforts continue.
Eyewitnesses said that the explosion was accompanied by such a strong shock wave that they initially mistook the emergency for an earthquake.
