On Saturday, 10 Oct 2026 GMT+7, South Korean firefighters reported that plaster ceiling panels collapsed inside a supermarket in Daegu, South Korea, resulting in 38 minor injuries and the evacuation of 66 building occupants.
Officials said they were alerted at 10:16 a.m. Nine injured people were taken to hospital, but they believe it is very unlikely that anyone was seriously hurt.
