A massive explosion and fire occurred at an iron and steel manufacturing plant in western Turkey, near the port city of Izmir. The blast killed at least 10 workers and injured 15 others.
The disaster was triggered when an overhead crane lifting a boiler collapsed into a large industrial furnace used during the liquid steel casting process. The collapse caused the blast and a subsequent huge fire.
Rescue teams are continuing to search for people trapped under the rubble. President Erdogan has announced an investigation into the incident.
