2 killed in collapse

An eight-storey building has collapsed in Istanbul, killing at least two people, Turkish officials said. Rescue workers pulled six others out of the rubble and were working to free more who were trapped. The building, which had 43 people living in 14 apartments, had a street-level ground floor and seven higher floors, Istanbul Governor Ali Yerlikaya said, adding that the top three floors had been built illegally. It was not immediately clear how many people were trapped in the wreckage.
