five-story residential building collapsed.

This happened in Asyut, a city in southern Egypt, where a five-story residential building collapsed. The collapse was caused by a tenant making modifications to a load-bearing wall on the balcony.

Residents of Mohamed Ali Makarem Street were alarmed when they noticed stones and bricks falling from a balcony before the newly constructed building completely collapsed, causing panic. Despite the apartments being recently handed over, the building was unoccupied at the time of the collapse.
