Up to 10 people may be buried under the debris of a building that collapsed following an explosion in France’s port city of Marseille, but a fire deep within the rubble has hindered rescue efforts, the French interior minister said.

Officials have determined that at least four people lived in the building, interior minister Gerald Darmanin said.
