At least 14 people have died while many more are feared to have been trapped under rubble after an unfinished building collapsed in the southwestern Iranian city of Abadan on Monday.
Parts of the 10-story Metropol building, located in Abadan, a major oil refining hub in Khuzestan Province, collapsed.
The under-construction building was located on Abadan’s busiest street where commercial, medical and office buildings predominate. The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
The construction supervisor of Metropol had explicitly and with technical reasoning warned about the building’s structural weakness.
