A tragic incident in Argentina has left one person dead and several others feared trapped under the rubble after the collapse of the Dubrovnik hotel in Villa Gesell. The 10-storey structure fell early Tuesday morning, according to reports from Reuters, citing local municipal officials.
At the time of the collapse, it is believed that up to 15 people were inside the hotel, which had recently been undergoing renovation. Rescue teams have been deployed to the scene, working tirelessly to locate and free those who may be trapped beneath the debris. Local media have confirmed that an elderly man in his 80s has died as a result of the incident.
Authorities reported that construction work at the hotel had been halted in August due to the municipality’s order, as renovations were being conducted without the necessary permits. This oversight has raised questions regarding safety and regulatory compliance in the building’s recent activities.
