Rescue workers have recovered another body from the site of a collapsed boiler tower at a thermal power plant in the city of Ulsan.

Fire authorities said Wednesday that the body of a man in his 60s had been pulled from the debris of Tower 5 at around 10:14 p.m. Tuesday, bringing the confirmed death count from the collapse to five.

They added that an additional worker was later located at the site at 5:19 a.m. Wednesday.

Rescue teams are continuing around-the-clock operations to recover the remaining buried workers, with about 70 personnel involved.
 
The 63-meter boiler tower at the Korea East-West Power Company’s Ulsan plant collapsed last Thursday during dismantling work, trapping seven workers.
