At least 16 workers were killed in an explosion at the Habas Demir Celik steel plant in Aliaga, near Izmir, Turkey, BBC World reported. Deutsche Welle had earlier reported at least 10 deaths, and Turkish authorities warned that more people remained trapped under the debris. Eyewitnesses told BBC World that the blast shook the ground, with one believing an earthquake had hit nearby. The rising toll reflects the scale of the disaster at the factory, and further people may still be trapped. The available reports did not give the cause of the blast or details of the rescue operation, and no investigation findings have been reported yet.
