Two dead and at least seventeen injured due to building collapse in New York

A three-story apartment complex in Brooklyn partially collapsed, resulting in at least two fatalities and seventeen injuries, including seven children. Rescue operations are ongoing, with fears that more individuals may be trapped under the debris. The incident occurred during demolition work at a nearby construction site, although it is unclear if this caused the collapse. The building, constructed in 1930, had previously been ordered to halt demolition after a March inspection raised concerns.
