(MENAFN) Two workers died when concrete floor slabs suddenly collapsed during ongoing repair work at a school in eastern Moscow, according to a statement released Saturday by Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry.

Rescue teams are actively working to free a third worker who remains trapped under the debris, the ministry confirmed, highlighting the urgency of the operation as time is critical.

The collapse caused damage across four floors of the building. Authorities emphasized that no students were present during the incident since the school was closed for renovations, preventing further casualties.
