Building falls during post-quake demolition process.
Three people in Turkey’s eastern province of Van were injured this morning after a five-story building collapsed during demolition work, damaging a nearby pastry shop.
Malik Ejder, Ali Ceylan and Saffet Salkım were all rescued from the pastry shop by locals before being transported to hospital.
Authorities are currently conducting a search to ensure that no other people remain trapped beneath the rubble.
