Ambulances were spotted outside the building as emergency workers rushed to the scene. One construction worker has reportedly gone missing, according to Russian media, but officials have not confirmed any casualties.
In an aerial video, a worker can be seen dismantling part of the structure’s roof. The complex then begins to collapse as the construction worker scrambles to get inside a crane hoisted over the building, where a colleague can be seen looking on.
