Rescuers in Athens extracted two people from the rubble of a partially collapsed building, according to local media. The operation took place in the early hours of the morning, as crews searched for four others still trapped beneath the debris. Emergency teams used heavy machinery to clear the site, which had been damaged in what appears to be a structural failure.
The building, located in a residential area, was found partially collapsed, with two individuals unconscious and trapped inside. The rescued survivors were taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation. Authorities have not yet confirmed the cause of the collapse, though preliminary reports suggest it may have been due to an unstable foundation.
Search efforts continue as crews work to locate the remaining four people. Local officials have urged residents to remain cautious and avoid the area until further notice. The incident has raised concerns about building safety in the region, with calls for increased inspections and regulations.
Emergency services remain on high alert, with additional teams deployed to assist in the search. The situation remains under review as investigators determine the full extent of the damage and the number of people still missing.
