Twelve workers were killed in an explosion at a steel factory in Xaloztoc, Tlaxcala, Mexico. The incident occurred overnight, causing liquid steel to spill and leading to a fire that firefighters managed to extinguish. One worker remains in critical condition, according to the state prosecutor’s office. Authorities suspect the explosion was triggered by a collapse of the melting machine, possibly when molten steel came into contact with water. An investigation into the exact cause is underway. Tlaxcala Governor Lorena Cuellar extended her condolences to the victims’ families.
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.
