SpaceX launched the Starship rocket for its ninth test flight from the Starbase site in Texas, USA. The rocket carried eight Starlink satellites but failed to deploy them after the cargo bay doors did not open. The rocket lost connection 30 minutes after launch due to fuel tank leaks and altitude issues, leading to an unplanned mid-air breakup.

The reusable Super Heavy booster made a hard ocean landing. Despite setbacks, SpaceX emphasized the importance of lessons learned, stating, “Today’s test will help us increase the reliability of Starship.”

The last two test flights also ended in failure, with the rockets breaking apart around 10 minutes after launch. At 122 meters, Starship is the world’s most powerful space rocket, designed to transport cargo and crew to Earth orbit, the Moon, and Mars.

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.
