According to him, the search-and-rescue operation is ongoing. Rescuers are continuing to clear the rubble and search for people.
"According to the State Emergency Service, six people are currently considered missing. Rescue operations will continue until all the rubble has been cleared and until there is certainty that no one is left there," Petrov said.
