The collapse of a detached house in downtown Busan caused an accident where workers were buried.

According to the Busan Fire and Disaster Headquarters, a two-storey detached house collapsed today at 11:04 am in a residential district in Yeonje-gu, Busan.

Out of eight workers, five workers, including 28-year-old Lee Moo, were buried in a pile of collapsed houses.

The fire department, which issued the first phase of the response shortly after the accident, has rescued three people, including Lee, out of five invested persons until 3 pm.

Firefighters are lifting the stones and working on the two remaining investors.

The city was also partially leaked due to the accident, but was blocked.

The police controlled some sections of the Yeongje-gu Jungangcheon-ro road leading around the site.

Police and fire departments believe an accident occurred during the renovation work to fix the columns.
