In New Delhi, the capital of India, 11 people were killed and five injured when a four-story building collapsed. This was reported on Saturday, April 19, by the local NDTV channel.

Rescuers are still trying to pull out those who may still be trapped under the rubble.

The collapse occurred a few hours after a heavy rainstorm passed through the city, accompanied by hurricane-force winds and thunderstorms, the TV channel said. However, officials said the cause of the collapse was still under investigation.

A surveillance camera in a nearby alley captured the moment the building collapsed. The footage shows how a spark suddenly broke out and a thick cloud of dust filled the alley.

The roof of the Jet Set nightclub collapsed in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic on April 8 during a party by merengue performer Rubby Perez. As the Russian embassy in the country informed Izvestia on April 9, there were no foreign citizens among the dead.

On April 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader, in connection with the victims of the collapse of a building in Santo Domingo.
