A six-story building collapsed earlier today in the southern Iranian city of Ahvaz, raising concerns among local authorities and residents. According to Vahid Shabani, the director of the Khuzestan Red Crescent Society, emergency services have been dispatched to the scene to assess the situation and provide aid.

Residents reported feeling tremors in the structure shortly before the collapse, which prompted many to evacuate quickly. These early warnings likely helped avoid a larger disaster. The cause of the incident remains unknown, and an investigation is underway to determine what led to the building’s failure.

Authorities are urging caution in the area as rescue and recovery operations continue. More updates are expected as the situation develops.
