- The five-story building exploded early Sunday near the port; five people suffered minor injuries.
- More than 100 firefighters battled flames in the rubble, but conditions remained unstable after over 17 hours.
- Drones and probes searched for signs of life; heat delayed canine-team operations until Sunday afternoon.
