A seven-story building partially collapses in Istanbul, leaving multiple people trapped under rubble. Sources report at least two deaths, while rescuers work to reach survivors. Turkish media, citing the Istanbul Governor’s Office, say the lower three floors are affected and that ongoing risk of further collapse complicates the operation.
Rescue teams pull people from the debris, with reports varying on the total number of trapped or rescued individuals. One outlet says ten people, including three children, are rescued, while others report at least seven people trapped, including a 6-year-old. Another outlet notes the number of victims is unclear. Across coverage, rescuers continue searching as authorities assess damage and work to prevent additional structural failures.
