Eight killed in Pakistan collapse

At least eight people have been killed and seven injured after a three-storey building collapsed in the town of Rawalpindi in north-eastern Pakistan.

Police say Sunday's collapse happened after firecrackers, which had been illegally stored on the ground floor of the building, exploded.

Rescue workers are trying to reach other people who are thought to be trapped under the rubble.

The building had shops on the ground floor and residential apartments above.
