Seven people lost their lives after an explosion at a coal mine in Colombia on Saturday, while the National Agency for Mines and Mines (Agencia Nacional de Minería, ANM) announced that eight more people are still missing.
“Seven people are dead and eight workers are missing”said an ANM official to the French Agency.
On Monday morning, an explosion apparently due to a gas concentration caused a fire at a coal mine in the northern part of the country, in Soulia, in the prefecture of Northern Santander, which borders Venezuela.
“About 90% of the mine collapsed”which made the work of rescue teams “complicated”, according to John Olivares, secretary of mines and mines in North Santander.
Yesterday Saturday, more than 70 rescue workers were continuing their search inside the mine.
The country with the fourth largest economy in Latin America recorded 148 deaths due to accidents in mines and mines in 2021. Minerals and oil exports are the main in Colombia.
