At least 10 people were killed and 60 others injured when fireworks exploded during a rural festival in Mexico. According to a foreign news agency, the incident took place on Saturday during a religious ceremony in the municipality of Santa María Canchesdá, in the State of Mexico. A video that went viral on social media showed people carrying a bull-shaped structure made of straw, from which fireworks were being launched. According to reports, the burning bull ignited a large stockpile of fireworks stored near a church, triggering several explosions. The blasts caused several walls to collapse and sparked a fire in the main town square.
