[NPASYRIA] Late on Wednesday, the Syrian Governorate of Rif Dimashq announced a building collapsed in the town of Harasta in Rif Dimashq.

Governor of Rif Dimashq Safwan Abu Sadaa told pro-government al-Watan newspaper, "Information signify two persons are under the rubble."

Syria’s National Earthquake Center announced recording an earthquake of a 4.3 magnitude and 30 km deep on the Syrian-Lebanese border at 09:58 pm (GMT+3).

Abu Sadaa added, "The building was one of dilapidated ones and was not suitable for housing. Undoubtedly, tremors are a main reason behind the collapse of the building."

The Syrian Health Ministry said, "The Emergency unit responded immediately with fully-equipped seven ambulances after a residential building collapsed in Harasta," adding that the town’s hospital is fully ready to deal with the situation.

A source told North Press, "Civil defense teams are still searching for survivors under the rubble as a result of a building collapse in the al-Kana’s [churches] street in Harasta. Information indicate that there are three people under the rubble."
