Six people are thought to be missing after a building collapsed in the Guinean capital, Conakry, the AFP news agency reports.
The apartment block tumbled onto five construction workers and a child, the report adds.
The block is thought to be part of a government social housing project for public sector workers.
“None of the trapped people are responding to calls from rescue teams but we remain hopeful of a miracle,” an unnamed official told AFP.
