A fire that tore through an apartment building in Switzerland on Friday has left five people missing and eight injured, police said.

The blaze in the eastern town of Thusis, which was reported just after midnight, "entirely burned" a building that housed a restaurant and residential flats, police for the canton of Graubünden said in a statement.

"The stairwell collapsed, so the roof of the building had to be opened with a crane," it said.
