| One of the entrance halls has collapsed in a five-story apartment block in Mezhdurechensk, a city in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia. | |
| It is feared that at least one person has died and three have been injured in the collapse, RIA quoted a source in the Emergency Situations Ministry as saying. | |
| “Four people have been affected, one of them died. Those who are injured are in a moderate condition,” the source told RIA. | |
| At least one person is thought to be trapped under the rubble of the building, a spokesperson for the rescue team told RIA. | |
| At least 175 rescuers, using 39 units of equipment, are removing debris from the collapsed structure. | |
| The building's residents have been evacuated. | |
| Medics have been dispatched to the scene. The cause of the collapse is currently under investigation. | |
| TASS cites as one possible reason for the collapse as being construction work in a shop on the ground floor of the building, during which the builders possibly pulled down a load-bearing wall. | |
