The incident occurred in the neighbourhood of Kerdasa, where rescue efforts are ongoing.
According to reports, ambulances rushed to the scene, and civil defence teams were deployed to search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble.
Eyewitnesses claim that a gas explosion triggered the collapse, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
