People reported trapped after building collapses in Kano, Nigeria

An unknown amount of people are reportedly trapped in the rubble of a building that collapsed in Kano, Nigeria. 

The two-story building is reportedly a Beirut Road mobile phone market.

"Rescue operations have begun by officials of the Kano State Fire Service, Federal Road Safety Corps, and the police," TVC News reports. 

Witnesses on scene say people trapped inside cannot be rescued because there is no available equipment to do so.

Chinese state media personality suggests shooting down Pelosi's plane in Taiwan
