The number of people killed by a blast at the headquarters of the state oil company, Pemex, in Mexico City has risen to 25.
At least 100 people were injured and an unknown number remain trapped in the rubble at the base of the 54-storey tower. Searches for survivors continue.
Last year, 30 people died in an explosion at a Pemex gas plant in northern Mexico.
Rescuers have been working to find survivors trapped after the deadly blast.
Some 500 rescuers helped by dogs are searching the building for more victims.
Relatives of employees have gathered in search of information – some trying to reach loved ones via mobile phone.
The cause of the blast is under investigation, Pemex says.
