PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — A seven-story building under construction collapsed in Cambodia’s coastal city of Sihanoukville on Saturday, killing three workers and injuring 18, authorities said.
The city police chief, Thul Phorsda, said a rescue operation was underway to find out if any more workers were trapped in the rubble.
It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the collapse at 5 a.m.
Yun Min, the governor of Preah Sihanouk province, said by telephone that the building was owned by a Chinese investor and is intended as a condominium — one of many Chinese projects in the beach resort.
