Five people were killed when an apartment complex collapsed in a wealthy area of India's financial capital Bombay this morning.

At least nine were injured in the collapse, which occurred less than a week after another building collapse killed 11.

Rescuers were trying to drag survivors from the wreckage of the four-storey building in Marine Lines in Bombay, which is also known as Mumbai.

Old and badly maintained buildings sometimes collapse during heavy monsoon rains in the city.
