Argentina At least one dead and up to 11 missing after building collapse

At least one person has died in the collapse of a building in Argentina. An injured woman was taken to hospital, said Javier Alonso, the security minister for the province of Buenos Aires, on Tuesday.

Around 300 rescue workers are searching the rubble with drones and sniffer dogs for the estimated nine to eleven missing people.

The incident occurred in the seaside resort of Villa Gesell, around 350 kilometers south of the capital Buenos Aires. According to the city council, the ten-storey building, which housed a hotel, collapsed during the night. The cause was initially unclear.
