Construction Collapse in Brest: Video Challenges Official Account of Zero Injuries

Construction Collapse in Brest Raises Questions About Official Account A formwork and reinforcement frame collapsed at a construction site on Moskovskaya Street in Brest, Belarus, on June 3, 2025. The Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) initially reported no injuries. However, a video circulating online shows workers pouring concrete onto the structure moments before the collapse. This visual evidence contradicts the MES statement and raises serious concerns. "According to the MES, there were no casualties," said a local resident who wished to remain anonymous. "But the video clearly shows workers directly below the section that collapsed. How can they be sure no one was hurt?" The video, which has garnered significant attention online, shows the concrete pouring, followed by a sudden and dramatic collapse of the structure. The incident has prompted questions about the safety procedures at the construction site and the accuracy of the official report. Further investigation is needed to determine the exact cause of the collapse and whether any injuries occurred. This incident highlights the importance of thorough safety inspections and transparent reporting in construction projects. The discrepancy between the official report and the video evidence underscores the need for a full and transparent investigation.
