SULAIMANI — At least two people were killed and 13 others injured in the collapse of a building in Baghdad on Saturday (October 1), the Civil Defense Directorate said.

The four-floor building collapsed in the district of Karrada on Saturday and the cause of the incident is still unknown, the directorate said in a statement.

An NRT reporter said civil defense teams are still working to rescue people trapped under the remains of the building.

The leader of the National Wisdom Movement, Ammar al-Hakim, has called on the authorities to investigate the cause of the building’s collapse.
