Iran condoles with Laos nation, governmnet over deadly dam collapseTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Hundreds of people are missing and an unknown number believed dead after the collapse of a hydropower dam under construction in southeast Laos, state media reported Tuesday.

Several dams are being built or are planned in Laos, an impoverished and landlocked communist country that exports most of its hydropower energy to neighboring countries like Thailand.

Laos News Agency said the accident happened at a hydropower dam in southeastern Attapeu Province's Sanamxay district late Monday, releasing five billion cubic meters of water — more than two million Olympic swimming pools.
