A tragic incident occurred on Sunday morning in Iran, resulting in the collapse of buildings and causing significant casualties. As per the report from Xinhua news agency, three people lost their lives, and eleven others were injured in the incident.
The catastrophe took place during the demolition of an “unsafe” building in District 19, supervised by Tehran Municipality staff, with support from provincial police forces.
