Another Turkish worker injured in the fire in Havana Bay has died.

Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed on Friday the death of a second Turkish worker who was injured during the fire at the power generation barge in Havana Bay.

"After several days fighting for his life, Fuat Türkyilmaz, a Turkish worker from the floating power generation plant who was injured in the accident on September 26, passed away this morning. We send our condolences to his family, colleagues, and the Government of Turkey," said the Cuban leader on his X account.

The day before, it was also reported the death of another worker, Halil Karadeniz, who was in critical condition at the Hermanos Ameijeiras hospital in Havana with burns covering 40% of his body.

Both workers are the first fatalities of the fire that occurred on September 26 while welding work was being carried out on the Turkish barge in Havana Bay.

A total of eight people were injured during the incident, two were in critical condition and a third very serious, at Ameijeiras. The other patients were treated at Calixto García.

The Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, reported on social media X that the fire was immediately controlled and that the injured workers were receiving medical attention.

It was later reported that five Turkish nationals and one Cuban remained hospitalized, with varying prognoses, in the "Hermanos Ameijeiras" Clinical Surgical Hospital and the "General Calixto García" University Hospital.

Three of the eight injured are being treated at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital.

Doctor Trujillo Sánchez then explained that they had severe burns: "We are talking about three patients with about 40%, 30%, and 20% burns, respectively," he detailed.

According to the medical report, two of them were in extremely critical condition, while the third was in very serious condition.

The burns they presented, in some cases, reached up to 20% of hypodermic depth, which further complicated their recovery.
