Wall Collapse Kills 26 at Wedding in Western India
An Indian wedding ended in a tragedy after a wall in a wedding hall collapsed, killing some 26 people.
A wall collapsed on guests at an Indian wedding in the western state of Rajasthan, killing 26 people, local media reported Thursday.

The incident took place in Bharatpur late on Wednesday, the Press Trust of India (PTI) said. Revelers were hiding from a strong dust storm inside a wedding hall when a 13-feet-tall wall fell on them.

At least four children and eight women were among those killed. Dozens of people were injured and taken to hospitals. The storm reportedly caused a power outage. The rescue operation continues.
