Rescuers in South Korea have resumed their search for six missing workers who are believed to be trapped at a collapsed construction site in the southern city of Gwangju.

About 10 vehicles were destroyed and dozens of nearby households and shops were forced to evacuate following the partial collapse of a high-rise apartment building that had been under construction in the city’s Hwajeongdong district.
