Rescue workers pulled 25 bodies from the rubble of a four-story building in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Twenty-five people were killed in the collapse of a four-story building in Bangladesh’s capital, Dhaka, authorities said Thursday.
Fire officials said they had completed their rescue operation after pulling the 25 bodies from the rubble, two days after the building fell and destroyed nearby shanties. Most of the dead were in the shanties, Bangladesh’s online newspaper bdnews24.com reported.
According to a report from the Malaysian national news agency Bernama, the building was not constructed according to code, with additional construction above its original three-story height completed just a week ago.
