A three-story building collapsed early on Friday in India's financial capital amid monsoon rains, killing at least 10 people, including five children, and injuring nine others, police said.
Using sensors, authorities rescued 20 people from the debris of the building in Mumbai's crowded Thane district, said police commissioner K.P. Raghuvanshi.
The 20-year-old building came crashing down while most residents were asleep, he said.
The cause was not known, but Mumbai has been hit with heavy monsoon rains.
