International Live: At least 15 people, including four children, were killed when a wall collapsed on shacks outside an apartment complex in western India, police said.

Most of those who died were sleeping when the 3 metre (10-foot) high brick wall came crashing down on several tin cabins built for a group of labourers who had work at a nearby construction site, according to police.

Two people were also injured in the accident and are “undergoing treatment at a hospital,” a local police official told AFP.

He said a search was on to find any survivors. The shacks, located in the city of Pune in Maharashtra state, were mostly occupied by migrant workers from India’s north.
