A facade of a high-rise apartment building under construction collapsed on Tuesday in South Korea's Gwangju City, leaving at least one injured and multiple missing, Yonhap new agency reported citing local police.

CMG has confirmed with the Chinese consulate general in Gwangju that no Chinese citizen is among the missing.

The facade of the 39-floor building crumbled down at around 3:46 p.m. local time. Three people trapped at the construction site were rescued.

Three others evacuated on their own, and some 10 vehicles were buried under the debris.
