VTV.vn - Two people have died after an old house in Cua Bac Street, Hanoi, collapsed early on Thursday morning.

Over 300 local police, military and firefighting officers arrived at the scene shortly after the collapse. Responders had to remove the collapsed house brick by brick to find the victims.

According to initial investigations the house was built over 30 years ago without foundations.

Moreover, a neighbouring house was being renovated, which is likely to have partly caused the collapse. Further investigations are being carried out.
