At least two people died and another 17 were injured when a three-story building collapsed in New York's Brooklyn borough. The building collapsed on Wednesday afternoon near a construction site in the Flatbush area, with parts of it falling into an open construction area. BBC World ↗

Among the injured are at least seven children. At least four of the injured are in serious condition. Rescuers continued searching through the rubble, trying to determine whether anyone else remained trapped underneath. Authorities did not yet have exact information on the possible number of trapped people. Index.hu ↗

More than 250 rescuers responded to the scene. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani thanked the responding units. According to him, moving through the rubble is difficult, which is complicating the search and rescue efforts. Le Figaro ↗

The cause of the building collapse has not yet been clarified. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of the event, and rescuers continue to search the site. The extent of the damage and the final death toll may change once the operation is completed.
