Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s attempt to launch the Epsilon-6 rocket failed. According to the agency, a problem occurred on the rocket that impeded the rocket to fly in its normal orbit shortly after it was launched from Uchinoura Space Center at 09:50 local time. A self-destruct instruction was ordered to the 95.6 ton weighing rocket that was carrying 8 satellites developed by various foundations, including private universities and a private company. The incident is being investigated.

The launch attempt was originally scheduled for last Friday, but has been postponed to today due to unfavorable conditions that could make tracking the rocket’s position difficult.

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.
