- Coal mine blast in Pakistan kills at least 11 miners and traps 31 others
An explosion at a coal mine in southwest Pakistan killed at least 11 miners and trapped 31 others, likely caused by a methane gas buildup. Rescue operations are ongoing under difficult conditions, with officials warning of a potential rise in fatalities due to low oxygen levels. The government has pledged compensation for victims' families and an investigation into safety measures.
