Overview
- Three bodies have been recovered, two workers are presumed dead and still trapped, and the locations of two others remain unconfirmed.
- Overnight drone inspections did not find the missing as crews paused direct entry to prepare controlled demolitions of adjacent Units 4 and 6 to stabilize the site.
- Officials plan to bring down the flanking towers early this week and then deploy heavy equipment to lift debris and accelerate recovery operations.
- The 60-meter structure collapsed Thursday during a structural-weakening step that involved cutting supports after the unit had been out of service since 2021.
- Police and prosecutors formed task forces, secured documents, and are examining the roles of Korea East-West Power, HJ Shipbuilding & Construction, and subcontractor Korea Kacoh for potential negligence.
