It is reported that there are no casualties – students were supposed to arrive for classes in a few hours. Local residents report that renovation work was carried out in the summer, so there were no concerns.

Access to the college grounds is restricted, and investigators are currently investigating this incident. It should be noted that in Russia, in recent days, two schools have collapsed, one of which led to fatalities.
