The local media has reported that six persons are believed to be missing after a building fell in Conakry, the capital of Guinea.

According to the article, a building collapsed over five construction workers and a toddler.

The block is believed to be a component of a government social housing project for employees of the public sector.

"None of the trapped people are responding to calls from rescue teams, but we remain hopeful of a miracle," an unnamed source told AFP.
