.- At least five miners were killed and about 50 were caught today in the interior of a coal mine in Quetta, capital of the Pakistani province of Baluchistan, officials said. The mine collapsed after a series of explosions due to gas accumulation by the poor ventilation of the mine, located in the area of Sorang, Geo News said.
Local authorities said Sunday that the death toll may increase in the state-owned mine, under the control of Mineral Development Corporation of Pakistan (PMDC), and that about 50 miners remain underground. The explosions in coal mines are common in Pakistan, most of them located in the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh, where security measures are poor.
