A four-story apartment building housing seven apartments collapsed on June 30 in the Petralona neighborhood of Athens [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. Four people were initially reported trapped beneath the rubble [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. All four have since been found and confirmed safe, authorities said later the same day [2, 3, 4, 5].
Rescue efforts remain ongoing with firefighters, police, rescue dogs, and other emergency personnel combing through the debris to ensure no one else is inside [1, 2, 4, 5]. The cause of the collapse has not been confirmed. Construction work was underway on an adjacent building at the time, but officials have not determined if this contributed to the collapse [1, 2, 4, 5].
The building had seven apartments spread over the four floors that fell [1, 2, 4, 5]. No deaths or serious injuries have been reported as of now. Authorities continue searching the site in hopes of locating any other possible victims or hazards.
Officials have not announced any formal safety warnings or investigations yet. Residents in neighboring buildings were evacuated as a precaution while emergency teams proceed with their work on site. Further updates are expected as the operation continues.
