🚨 A residential building collapsed in Hailin City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, trapping nine people under debris on Sunday, March 29, 2026. Local authorities confirmed emergency crews are working around the clock to reach those buried, with heavy machinery and sniffer dogs deployed at the site.
💬 'We're prioritizing life detection and stabilizing the structure to prevent secondary collapses,' a rescue team leader told state media. The cause of the collapse remains unclear, though officials noted the building was constructed in the 1990s.
