Search Dogs Deployed in Gwangju Apartment Collapse Show Abnormal Reactions... Intensive Research Planned

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] It has been confirmed that a search dog conducting search operations at the site of the Hwajeong I-Park collapse accident in Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City showed abnormal reactions.

According to Gwangju City and the fire department on the 12th, in order to find the six people currently missing, six search dogs and handlers, along with the rescue team, have been deployed inside since the morning to carry out rescue operations.

During this process, some search dogs reportedly showed unusual reactions, such as lingering in specific locations.

The authorities plan to conduct a focused re-search centered on these points.

Meanwhile, at around 3:47 PM the previous day, the outer wall of the upper floors of one building under construction at Hwajeong I-Park collapsed.

As a result of this accident, one person sustained minor injuries and is receiving treatment at a hospital, while six people are missing.

Search operations were suspended the previous afternoon for safety reasons but resumed this morning after a safety inspection, with search dogs and handlers deployed for internal searches.

Due to the risk of further collapse outside, operations are being conducted using thermal cameras and drones.
