> At least 10 people were killed and at least 60 wounded when fireworks exploded during a village festival in Santa Maria Canchesda, central Mexico. A burning straw bull effigy apparently ignited a larger fireworks stockpile at the village church, while Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office opened an investigation and said the cause remained undetermined.
