The death toll from the 9 November explosion at the HABAŞ steelworks in İzmir, Türkiye, has risen to 18, RIA Novosti reports, citing the newspaper Cumhuriyet.

The explosion occurred at around noon local time and was followed by a fire at the plant. Firefighters extinguished the blaze.

According to a preliminary assessment by the governor’s office, the explosion may have occurred while molten steel was being cast, when a hoist broke loose and fell into an electric arc furnace. HABAŞ said the accident occurred during scheduled maintenance on one of the furnaces.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
