He explained that the victims were in the middle of the Asr prayer, around 4 pm, when the structure fell on them.
The Emir revealed that there had been visible damage to the mosque’s wall a day prior.
Bamalli mentioned, “We had previously noticed a crack on the mosque’s wall and had made plans to send civil engineers to carry out repairs.
Sadly, the catastrophe occurred before we could act.”
As a precautionary measure, he advised worshippers to conduct their prayers outside the mosque until the necessary repairs are completed.
