MEXICO: A church roof collapsed during Sunday mass in a northern Mexican city, killing at least 9 people and injuring 40, authorities said. The incident occurred in the city of Ciudad Madero, in the state of Tamaulipas, near the port city of Tampico.
The roof collapsed while parishioners were receiving communion. According to witnesses, the roof started to crack and then suddenly caved in.
Rescue workers worked into the night to search for survivors and victims trapped under the rubble. At least 30 people were believed to be missing.
The cause of the collapse is still under investigation, but authorities say it may have been due to heavy rains that have been pounding the region in recent days.
The Mexican government has declared a state of emergency in the area and is providing assistance to the victims and their families.
The collapse of the church roof is a tragedy, and our thoughts are with the victims and their families. We hope that those who are missing are found safe and sound.
This incident is a reminder of the importance of building safety. Churches and other public buildings should be regularly inspected to ensure that they are structurally sound and can withstand extreme weather conditions. (agencies)
