According to Shamshyan.com, the National Crisis Management Center of the RA Ministry of Internal Affairs received a report at 11:50 stating that the marble facade of a building under construction on 5 Manuk Abeghyan Street had collapsed. Gagik Shamshyan, a photojournalist, reported that the 8th district emergency rescuers had been on duty in Yerevan since March 1.

The scene was also attended by the 3rd district firefighters of the RA Ministry of Emergency Situations, led by fire commander Gor Arakelyan and his deputy Albert Hovhannisyan.
