At least three people were killed and 87 injured in southwest China on Monday after the steel roof of a bar collapsed.
The roof of the 0776 bar on the top floor of a three-storey building in Baise, Guangxi, caved in on staff and customers at about 1am, state media reported, citing city authorities.
By late afternoon, rescuers were still searching for four other people believed trapped under the debris, The Beijing News reported.
About 30 emergency vehicles and more than 200 firefighters were sent to the scene, the official Weibo account of the fire and rescue service said.




Firefighters used demolition equipment to dismantle the remains of the roof.
The entrance and exit to the 12-metre (40 feet) high building were on the ground floor, state-run China Central Television (CCTV) reported.
