This is breaking news right now
At least eight people were killed on Friday when a concrete roof above the entrance of a railway station in the northern Serbian city of Novi Sad collapsed, the interior minister said.
"Eight bodies have been recovered; eight people have died," Interior Minister Ivica Dacic said. "Two people are in hospital," he added, "one of whom is in critical condition."
More people were trapped under the rubble, and Dacic said the rescue operation would last for several more hours.
"Over 80 rescuers are involved, with the assistance of heavy machinery," he said.
Station recently renovated
It was not immediately clear what caused the partial collapse, but the Novi Sad Railway Station had only reopened in July after three years of renovation work.
