A powerful explosion rocked a coal mine in southwestern Pakistan today, and local authorities fear 12 missing workers are dead. A search and rescue operation is underway at the Singidi mine in Balochistan province, where crews have been rushed from Quetta. “Twelve workers were inside the mine when it collapsed” after the powerful explosion, attributed to a methane leak, said Abdul Ghani, an official with the regional authorities. Accidents are frequent in Pakistan’s mines, where working conditions are described as “extremely dangerous” and safety regulations are considered inadequate. Last June, eleven people were killed by a methane leak at a United Coal Company coal mine in Baluchistan province. Source: RES
