Six Killed in Indian Building Collapse

By Joel Himelfarb | Tuesday, 23 July 2013 09:45 AM EDT

Six people, including two children, were killed Tuesday when the wall of a building collapsed on two adjacent huts in Hyderabad, India.

Rescuers were able to save two other children trapped in the rubble, the Times of India reported.

A senior police officer said that several days of torrential rains apparently triggered the collapse.

Officials said that all of the bodies have been recovered from the debris and that rescue operations were over. The names of the dead have not been released.

On July 8, at least 18 people died when a hotel building collapsed in the nearby town of Secunderabad.
