A fire at Luton Airport’s multi-storey car park in England began in a vehicle on the third floor and rapidly spread to other levels. The fire involved more than 1,500 vehicles, resulting in a partial collapse of the parking structure and damage to around 1,200 cars. All flights at Luton Airport were halted until 15:00 on the following day to ensure safety. Thankfully, there were no casualties, but four firefighters and one airport staff member were hospitalized due to smoke exposure. Firefighting efforts continued through the early morning, and an investigation into the fire’s cause is underway.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.
Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.
Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
