Ulsan: South Korean rescue teams have recovered a fifth body from beneath the wreckage of a collapsed boiler tower at a thermal power plant in the southeastern city of Ulsan, local media reported. The No. 5 tower collapsed last Thursday, trapping seven workers. So far, five bodies have been found, while two remain unaccounted for.

According to Anadolu Agency, the recovery followed controlled demolitions of two other boiler towers on Tuesday, which were carried out to aid in the search for three workers still missing after the collapse. Fire officials reported that one of the remaining workers has been located but is presumed dead.

Rescue operations continue as teams work tirelessly to locate the last worker and ensure the safety of the site. The incident has highlighted concerns over safety measures at the plant, prompting investigations into the cause of the collapse.
