The incident took place on Monday morning at a high-rise construction site in the city center. The victims were identified as local workers who were in the vicinity when the crane malfunctioned.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the collapse, with the construction company responsible for the project offering their full cooperation. In a brief statement, the company expressed their condolences to the families of the deceased and emphasized their commitment to ensuring the safety of all workers on their sites.

As the investigation unfolds, authorities are expected to release more details about the circumstances leading to the collapse and any potential factors that may have contributed to the loss of life.
