A five-story building collapsed in New Delhi, killing at least one person and trapping dozens under debris. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.

The collapsed building was located in Satya Niketan, a densely populated neighborhood known for private student accommodations near a Delhi University campus. The building housed a boys' hostel.

Fire officer Abhilash Malik said that between 30 and 40 people could still be trapped in the rubble.

Lawmaker Anil Sharma said some people had been rescued, and several others trapped inside were making phone calls for help while rescuers remained in contact with them.

Police, firefighters, and crews from India's disaster response agency searched the rubble as earthmovers cleared debris to help rescuers reach those trapped inside.
