AMMAN— A three-storey residential building collapsed in Zarqa city on Wednesday, killing three persons and injuring seven others, a Civil Defence Department (CDD) source said.

"The building collapsed at 6:00am Wednesday. It was undergoing reconstruction, which is the most likely reason for the collapse," the source told The Jordan Times over the phone Wednesday.

Civil Defense personnel are working to rescue others trapped under the rubble, said the source.
