Around noon today, part of the roof of the Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Gyeonggi Province collapsed.

So far, one person has been found to have been injured, but police and firefighters are continuing to search for lives.

There is a reporter on the scene. Reporter Yoon Taein!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's in Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Gyeonggi Province.

The damage seems serious, so please tell me about the situation on the spot.

[Reporter]
The place where I am is in front of the flower cooperation market.

If you look behind me, you can see the building collapsed.

There was a long line of blue tiles on the original roof, which bent and collapsed like a taffy.

I don't know if you can see it now, but you can also see a truck tilted sideways as it was pressed by blue tiles.

And even in the market, the steel structures inside the market collapsed, so you can only see right in front of it, and it is difficult to know what it originally looked like.

So now the site is a chaos, and market merchants are also coming forward to discuss what to do with each other.

And the police and fire departments are blocking the market from entering the market by striking a control line.

Police and rescue workers are also discussing how to rescue and take action.

The roof of the agricultural and fishery wholesale market collapsed at around 12:06 p.m. today.

When we arrived at the site, we heard about the merchants, and they said there were already signs, such as a sound like an iron pipe bursting from yesterday.

Because of this, the merchants said that they had guided everyone to evacuate the market from this morning, but suddenly they heard a huge roar and the whole thing collapsed.

Even in the evacuation guidance, some merchants remained inside for a while to take out the items, but so far, one person has been taken to a hospital due to a minor injury.

Still, thanks to the evacuation in advance, the casualties are not expected to be very large.

Police and firefighters believe the building failed to overcome the weight of the snow and caused the accident.

The policy is to identify the exact cause as soon as the search is completed.

You told me about Anyang, and in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, the roof of the traditional market collapsed?

[Reporter]
That's right.

The roof of the Dokkaebi Market building in Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do collapsed at around 1 a.m. due to heavy snow last night.

Fortunately, no one was caught or injured because no one was there.

The police were dispatched after receiving the initial report at 1:40 a.m. today.

No one was hurt, but the merchants were worried that the roof tents would collapse further due to the snow.

Currently, Uiwang City and merchants continue to work on restoration, but it is expected to take more time because it snowed a lot.

So far, I am YTN Yoon Tae-in in front of Anyang Agricultural and Marine Products Wholesale Market in Gyeonggi Province.
