South Korean rescue teams have recovered a third body from the wreckage following the collapse of a large structure at a power station, local media reported on Sunday.

Four workers remain trapped, with authorities unable to locate two of them, after part of a decommissioned heating facility in Ulsan collapsed on Thursday while crews were dismantling sections of the massive steel frame ahead of demolition.

Footage from the southeastern coastal city showed the twisted remains of the fallen structure surrounded by similar frameworks. Rescuers have been using heat sensors, remote cameras, and sniffer dogs in their search, though progress has been slowed by the danger of further collapse.
